The Journal of Musici s pleased to announce Paul O’Connor, Patrick Groenland and Stephen Graham as the latest members of its editorial team.

The appointment of three new editors is the latest in a year of changes at The Journal of Music, which has seen the magazine redevelop from a bi-monthly print magazine to an online publication. With a beta website launched earlier this year, the magazine has been publishing regular articles, reviews and news items, documenting and reflecting on a broad span of Irish and international musical life. The next phase of this web development will be launched in the coming weeks.
