Live Around Amsterdam is the new magazine from Stun Publishing, the makers of the Amsterdam Stun. Started by Andy Reeves in 1993, the Amsterdam Stun is a free monthly magazine that centres on life in bars in the centre of Amsterdam.
The very first edition was a one-man effort, with 10 copies of a single sheet of A4 paper printed at home. We now have an average of six people, mainly English, Dutch and Scottish, contributing to a 36-page magazine with a circulation of up to 1,000 copies a month going into the bars around Nieuwendijk and the Red-Light district. The website at www.amsterdamstun.com always features the latest edition and with the searchable archive from the last four years, averages over 60,000 hits per month.
Music and musicians have always been important to the Amsterdam Stun and over the years, we have made some good friends in the business. We want to expand on that friendship by promoting the thriving Live music scene in Amsterdam to bigger, so far untapped, audiences and encourage more visitors to visit the many podia, large and small, this city has to offer.
About Live Around Amsterdam
In addition to this website, Live Around Amsterdam will also be a FREE English language monthly magazine that focuses on Live music in the small to medium sized venues around Amsterdam. Every month, we’ll have a number of pages with upcoming events, plus an extensive, easy to read, Gig List. In addition to listings of Live music, we’ll also feature live sport on TV; a jokes page, for when there’s nothing on TV; pictures of bar-staff, so the reader knows the name of the person they’re tipping; and in the middle, a good quality map showing all the listed venues, so people can get good directions to the place they want to visit. The magazine will be in full colour and printed in A5 format, so that it can easily fit in your pocket. |
