David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Howard Marks, Gino Kenny TD & Picture This star in the 2017 Hot Press Annual

Hitting discerning shelves and stands on Thursday December 15 with a specially-commissioned David Rooney illustration on the cover, the Hot Press 2017 Annual takes a lingering look at the Music, Gigs, TV, Films, Books, Quotes, Political Stories, Pictures, Sporting Moments and Sexual Exploits of the year.
In tribute to those we have lost, Irish playwright Enda Walsh tells about the magical moments he had working with David Bowie on the Lazarus musical; our woman Sonja Fagan goes on a Prince pilgrimage to Paisley Park; Olaf Tyaransen remembers his friend Howard Marks, and everybody cheers as Leonard Cohen’s tops the HP Critics’ Album Poll with the magical You Want It Darker.
In a headline-grabbing interview, People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny talks about legalising medical marijuana, euthanasia, the IRA, Gerry Adams, the Jobstown ‘kidnapping’ and his own run-ins with the law.
The big name interviews don’t end there with Picture This, Panti, Pixies, Stephen Kenny, ex-Pistol Steve Jones, David Gray and Paul Howard telling us about their remarkable 2016s.
Stuart Clark recalls a very special night in Havana with Fidel Castro and the Manics; Simone Spoladore reflects on her starring role in the sexiest TV show of the year, Magnifica 70; woman of the moment, Vogue Williams, is our festive Mad Hatter, and Kanye West, Ruth Negga and Adele all come under the HP microscope.
