Editor, The Observer Music Monthly

The Observer Music Monthly continues to go from strength to strength, consolidating its reputation as the music magazine that broke the mould. In 2005, musical legends such as Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney and U2 starred on the cover, as well as younger acts making their own mark - from Rufus Wainwright to 50 Cent to Charlotte Church! OMM also served as a showcase for the finest music writers in the world such as Paul Morley and Peter Guralnick, and our photographers dazzled with a series of specially commissioned projects. The magazine remains dedicated to a uniquely broad range of music, and superb reportage journalism has covered black metal in Scandinavia, teen pop in Japan and baile funk in Brazil.

Special issues such as 'What Britain's Listening To' have set the musical agenda, and whether it has been Nick Hornby interviewing Bruce Springsteen; Simon Napier-Bell reminiscing about taking Wham! to China; or a stunning portfolio of the hottest jazz musicians in the world today, The Observer Music Monthly has swiftly become the key music magazine for the record industry and a must for music fans of every age and possible disposition.
