We have ourselves… a runner-up
Last night at the annual Record Of The Day Awards for Music Journalism and PR, The Stool Pigeon managed were voted runner-ups in the Best Magazine Category. Word won, but somehow we managed to beat all the usual suspects - NME, Q, Mojo etc. We must be doing something wrong. Phil was runner-up in the Best Editor category too.
Issue 019 out now
Deliveries very nearly done, but hold tight if your town hasn't been blitzed yet - we're almost there.
All coming online soon. In the meantime, the Macca interview is up on our MySpace.

Piece of piss to do and we’d be frightfully grateful.
Gash-ness
Pigeon Ash and Pigeon Emily are putting on a top night tommorah, featuring none other than Pigeon faves, The Real Heat. It’s called Gash. That’s right, Gash. Come. Or die.
Win tickets! To see some music!

We have a pair for each. Whoever emails the best definition of the word 'twee' to info@thestoolpigeon.co.uk will be rewarded. Please state which gig you want to go to.
