About the Spring Issue

Spring is an exciting time and, like a bud waiting to bloom, the town awaits the carnival. The carnival is a huge community project enjoyed by all.  It’s a perfect time to reflect on what a remarkable place Saffron Walden is, with an incredible community spirit. In this issue we give you an insight into the people behind this fantastic event.

Paul McEvoy from Bold Design has designed us a great front cover for this issue. See the interview on page 16 to check out more about Paul and his Small Faces connection.

We have yet again managed to seek out amazing local talent (pages 8-9) and have interviewed some fascinating people.  Top of the HUB list we have featured local record producer Jim Abbiss who stole the HUB team’s hearts with his honesty and insight. On another level we immensely enjoyed interviewing this issue’s band for a number of reasons!

This is also our first interactive issue. HUB now sports a Z-ah code on its front cover, which when scanned by a smart phone will give you exclusive access to our website. See page 5 for information on what Z-ar codes are, and how to use them.

We would like to thank Michelle Thompson for the many illustrations featured throughout this issue.
