Dear
 With the festival season fast approaching we fill up our competition page with tickets to Trans, Glasgowbury and Willowstone festivals! We get up close and personal with writer of The Wire, David Simon, report on the Venice Biennale, get sketching at the 2D Northern Ireland Comics Festival in Derry and celebrate 80 years of Faber & Faber with a tale of love, loss and Seamus Heaney's hairdo. Also this issue we review Antony and the Johnsons, tune up the old six string with Leonard Cohen's guitar tech and get physical with pole dancing champion Joanna Robinson. No, seriously. Team CNI |
