HELLO!
Welcome to the first issue of The Event 08-09!
For a lot of you this will be the first time you
lucky people have had the opportunity to read
the glorious pages that you have got your
hands on. The Event is dedicated to taking
a look at fashion, music, computing, film...to
name just a few!
Basically, it’s a little drop of sunshine in the al-
ready pretty glowing Concrete. Hope that you all
enjoy the pages in the following year (and appre-
ciate the blood, sweat and tears that we all put in
every issue... :-)
Happy reading!
