In 2009, I was faced with the challenge of determining a course of action that would allow me to provide full-time support for my son. I decided to start a magazine business and the rest is history! This month my son is reaching a milestone age of 18. I dedicate this issue to Jacob and all children coming of age.

This month Carl reflects on a van trip through Scotland—before spotlighting two interviews (comedian Ian Stone on ageing, hope and chasing everyday “wow” moments, and Melanie C on reclaiming her dance roots and the liberated energy of her new album Sweat), alongside vivid live reviews of Gorillaz and James; Gareth highlights Cardiff’s urgent need for earlier, more accessible mental-health support, arguing for prevention and a wider “safety net” across NHS, schools, sport, workplaces and community provision while noting long waits for therapy and pointing readers to practical resources; Wyn offers a personal piece about his daughter with Down Syndrome entering adulthood and dating, reflecting on years of activities that built her independence and on the enduring role of parental love; Natalie highlights Gig Buddies Cymru, a befriending scheme pairing adults with learning disabilities or autistic adults with volunteer “gig buddies” to tackle loneliness and enable shared experiences at events; Ralph profiles boxer Nicola Adams’ trailblazing amateur and professional achievements, including Olympic golds and a world title; and Vince gives a humorous, observational column ranging from myths about the Great Wall of China to everyday mishaps, wordplay and favourite quotes.

Live Review: Help I Sexted My Boss Words: Chloe Monaghan

"This whole show felt very much like panto for adults, with audience participation, silly games, funny costumes and dodgy dances. It kept us all laughing the whole way through, and everyone left with a big smile on their face."

Dear Readers, Welcome to our March issue.

This month, we're spotlighting the upcoming Senedd election, which is scheduled for 7 May. If you're in Wales, make sure to register by midnight on 20 April to take part. We particularly encourage young people and those who've recently moved to get registered. If you want change, you must vote!

This issue includes conversations with Shaun Ryder and Bez of Happy Mondays about survival and chaos, the Nova Twins discussing industry resistance and authenticity, and Ardal O'Hanlon exploring comedy, identity, and age with gentle insight, Lindz from LZ7 shares insights from his music career, highlighting his transition from intimate venues to large arenas and the impact of his faith on his leadership and music. William Hanson and Jordan North reflect on their journey from small venues to national arenas and the evolution of their live performances and after performing at half-time during Wales v France at the Principality Stadium, Molly Roberts reflects on the moment — and looks ahead to a new EP arriving later this year.

We also have insight into daily commuting in Cardiff which imposes significant psychological stress due to crowding, unreliability, noise, and pollution, affecting mental health and emotional regulation. These stressors impact not only the journey but also the remainder of the day, influencing mood and social interactions.

We highlight the significance of time as a precious gift and introduce the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP), a large volunteer-based anti-poverty charity that provides support to those in need through personal connection and community engagement.

This month we feature Jimmy Revie, a left-handed London boxer who won the British featherweight title in 1969 after defeating John O’Brien. He not only defended his title successfully—with notable victories including one against Alan Rudkin—but also faced tough matches such as a loss to European champion Jose Legra and an unexpected early defeat by Tahar Ben Hassen. Revie's career in the late 1960s and early 1970s was marked by both significant wins and challenging setbacks.

In this issue Vince shares a series of personal anecdotes and humorous stories, including an encounter with Andean bears, reflections on dental visits, currency confusion, the origin of “OK,” butcher traditions, and various jokes about traitors, all presented with lighthearted commentary.

And finally, Miss Emily cheers for Angharad’s accomplishments at The Barinowsky School of Ballet. This article demonstrates that dancing is possible for EVERYONE.

Enjoy reading folks!

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent – the forty days leading up to Easter when Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Roman Catholics remember the time when Jesus went into the desert to fast and pray before beginning his work for God.

Shrove Tuesday was traditionally used as a day to use up the last of all the rich foods that Christians, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Roman Catholics would resist throughout Lent. People also used this day to go to church and confess the bad things they had done in which they would be ‘shriven’ or forgiven before the start of Lent. This gives Shrove Tuesday its name as ‘shrove’ means being forgiven for doing wrong things.

Well, now you know the history behind Shrove Tuesday and why one day a year pancakes are celebrated like never before. Why not make the most of Shrove Tuesday this year and have a go at making one of these enticing recipes?
