The Mag (Music Magazine)

The Mag (Music Magazine)

The Mag is a independent and alternative music magazine in the United Kingdom which has been published online since 2003. Contributions in the form of reviews and music articles were made by aspiring music-journalists, photographers and enthusiasts such as Pete Habert, Stuart Smith and Mark Holloway.

The Mag gained exposure in 2006 when the magazine's website became the largest of its kind (source Alexa Internet - Independent and Altenative Music) and it reached its peak in 2007, hosting an awards show that gained recognition from the BBC, as well as radio stations Original 106 (Solent) and Southern Counties Radio.

History

The magazine's first edition was published as an 8 page local music guide in Salisbury, Wiltshire. However, due to distributions issues the physical edition was replaced with a website on 9 July 2003.

In December 2006, The Mag were the first to report on the Delays new record deal with Fiction Records as they were present backstage at Southampton Guildhall to interview lead singer Greg Gilbert when the deal was signed.

In 2007, www.the-mag.me.uk were awarded the runners-up prize in the category 'Best Interactive Website' at the HantsWeb awards run by Hampshire County Council.
