Issue 86 May 2015

What a couple of months. The Festival of Debate has gone better than we could have imagined, with over 40 events taking place all across the city. The level of discussion and audience interaction has been really heartening. Thank you to audience members, volunteers and event co-ordinators. Stay tuned to festivalofdebate.com for event write-ups, photos and more.

Elsewhere, we will be upgrading the Now Then Discounts App with new features in the coming weeks, and Abbeydale Brewery are making us another beer for our 7th birthday.

This month we’ve got plenty to get your teeth into, including art from linocut local James Green and an interview with Michael Palin ahead of his appearance at Doc/Fest next month. Lots more inside.

We’re keeping it in the family for this month’s mix, delivered by the elusively titled Now Then DJs. Get involved.
