Announcing: The Hot Press 'Stay Safe' Emergency Issue

In the face of increased coronavirus restrictions, we find ourselves in unprecedentedly uncertain and deeply troubling times. However, desperate times call for special responses – and that's why we in Hot Press are proud to announce the release of our special 'Stay Safe' issue, out next week and available to pre-order now.

As well as containing all the lots of the fine music writing you'd expect of Hot Press, this unique edition, published against the odds, will serve as an essential Survival Guide to the days ahead.

Produced in the eye of a darkening storm, our once-off 'Stay Safe' issue will be full of brilliant, up-to-the-minute material – charting the stranger-than-fiction story of the crisis, and providing readers with all the essential tips for keeping yourself occupied during lockdown. We'll also be sharing unique voices from various aspects of Irish life during the pandemic, including the people helping to ensure that the show goes on, from the safety of self-isolation.

With a community-oriented focus that celebrates the best of Irish music, life and culture in the midst of these dark days, this Covid-19 Emergency issue is absolutely essential reading for everyone on lockdown.
