Inside the 900th Hot Press

The President Of Ireland Michael D. Higgins, Mark Feehily, Kodaline, Glen Hansard, Joseph O'Connor, Sharon Corr and Charlene McKenna are only a handful of big names helping us celebrate 900 issues of Hot Press this fortnight.
As part of a jam-packed special collectors' edition, we have stars reminiscing about their first times in the publication, bring you the most notorious interviews from the archives, revisit times our journos went beyond the call of duty, and offer entertaining, illuminating and often hilarious snapshots of previous landmark issues that form our '100 Club'. That's just for starters.
You will surely have noticed the iconic cover by now. A game Niamh Farrell went all 'Irish Beauty' for HamsandwicH's cover feature, as her band return with their third album and attempt to conquer the music world.
Add in a host of other big interviews with everyone from The Vaccines and James Bay to Marty Whelan, reviews of albums by Matthew E White and Laura Marling, and gig reports on the likes of Jungle and Father John Misty and you have an issue for the ages.
