Ronan Monroe, the absolute titan of Oxfordshire’s fantastic music scene has decided it’s time to hang up his pen and pad and publish the very last edition of Nightshift Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen so many Oxfordshire bands because of Nightshift Magazine. Ronan’s reviews were always compelling (even when he didn’t like what he’d heard\/seen). The funniest review was one band being described as sounding ‘like a badger in a cardboard box falling downstairs’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I wrote, hosted, produced and presented the music podcast, I got so many leads and feeds from Ronan’s work. I’d go down to south Oxfordshire to watch a band in a pub just because Nightshift Magazine said I should. I’ve seen most of these bands upstairs in the Jericho (or in the Wheatsheaf) thanks to Ronan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
