Martha the Nightshift Cat

The last ever issue is finished and online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/jun.pdf And now this desk will be mine for ever and ever.

@RemadeGuitars Hope you're keeping well old chap, and a very happy retirement

@NightshiftMag Good luck to Martha & Ronan in whatever they do next. I'm hanging up my soldering iron end of the month too. Ronan's visits to drop off magazines at our Abingdon shop are fondly remembered, as are the number of customers who flung it across the shop in response to a bad review 😂

@omsmagazine Time for you to go monthly and run a gig guide. It'll be no extra work at all. Like blood from a stone, I managed to squeeze some kind words about you out for this interview - …glandmorethanlifeitself.wordpress.com

Thank you for everything, lovely Ronan and Martha the Nightshift cat. Prrrr. You will be missed. Here's to old friends and new music. Iconic cover - as always. Peace out. xxx

@GasmanCOTN The absolute passion - on the pitch and on the bench - is incredible. Always felt at the time that everyone involved just loved being part of Wycombe.

I finally made it onto the front cover. There I am, being cuddled in the photo, which in turn is being cuddled by Sam off of Beaker. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Martha. Read all about it at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/may.pdf

Here I am, having a lovely dream. Probably about chicken. You can read about some lovely dreampop from Camille Baziadoly in the new issue, which is online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/apr.pdf Mmmm... chicken.

March's @NightshiftMag in online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/mar.pdf and it's fatter than me after eating a whole roast chicken.

Nearly Christmas? This year I want a hamster. In the meantime, it must be time for Nightshift's Tracks of the Year. No Cat Power, Pussy Galore or Sampurr the Great sadly, but apparently it's all very lovely. Like me nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/dec.pdf

Daddy is being a bit Scottish tonight. This is me at the Battle of Bannockburn, being cross with the Sasanach

Today we will be judging you. Specifically your demos.

Nightshift delivery day is exhausting as you can see. Lugging all those boxes around the county. Not that I lifted a paw to help. I lay on the desk and guarded the office from dragons and upbeat funky blues-rock bands. Anyway, the new issue is out and I have a new box to sit in.

Me and my fellow @NightshiftMag desk botherer Troughton have been working very hard to get the new issue out and it's online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/nov.pdf. There's even an interview with Big Ginger Tom in there.

It's demo review day apparently so I'm going to bake my brain under the radiator to dull the pain. Update: the radiator isn't on. Will this cruelty and neglect never end?

Apparently October's cover stars Unbelievable Truth are playing a homecoming gig at The Bullingdon tomorrow. I once caught a golden eagle in the back garden. That's a different sort of unbelievable truth.

Since what used to be Twitter seems to be completely dead now, thinking of handing over this account to Martha the Nightshift cat for regular updates on how she's disrupting work on the next issue. What do you reckon? She's even less tolerant of soulless soft rock than me.
