The end of 2014 is near enough here, which not only marks the end of the year, but near-enough the first anniversary of The West Review. Of course today is Christmas and therefore I’d like to take the opportunity to wish all of my loyal readers and subscribers a Merry Christmas, as well as a happy new year. As you may expect, I’ll be doing two ‘end of year’ lists, one on the best songs of the year, and one on the best albums, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for those. Hope you’ve all had a good 2014, see you on the other side! – Joe x
