Hot Press likes to give bang for buck all year round, but at Christmas and New Year, well, we go downright mad!
Hitting newsstands nationwide tomorrow, our 2016 Annual has Enya on the cover – and inside there's an interview that reveals startling new information about her early days and delves deep into her creative process.
There are also major interviews with Star Wars’ trio of female stars; The Corrs; the wonderful Sharon Horgan; film director extraordinaire Lenny Abrahamson; the National's Matt Berninger; Northern Ireland footie manager Michael O’Neill; Toast Of London co-creators Arthur Mathews and Matt Berry; and Nick Shymansky, Amy Winehouse’s friend and first manager who tells all about Mitch, Blake, her drug use and Ms. W’s prolific talent.
Stuart Clark travels with Concern to meet Syrian refugees who’ve been forced to flee across the border – and finds that the reality of their situation doesn’t tally with most media reports.
Glen Hansard, Mark Dignam, Ronan O Snodaigh and his sister Maureen Christopher are among those taking part in the major retrospective, "The Life and Death and Life of Mic Christopher", and we reveal details of our 1916-flavoured Write Here, Write Now competition, which is part of the official Ireland 2016 celebrations.
We also follow our Band of the Year, U2, pictorially from Vancouver to Paris and meet red hot Irish catwalk star, Jo Archbold.
Add in the essential Albums, Movies, Games and Books of the Year, and a look back at 2015’s sporting, political and sexual highlights, and you’ve all the festive reading you could possibly need!
