In spite of all the chaos and disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak, we here at The Wire are maintaining our sanity by ploughing ahead with our May issue. Most of us are working from home, as we suspect are most of you. So in case you are running out of stuff to read during this period of social distancing and self-isolation, we have decided to give all of you one week's free access to our online archive which contains the digital editions of every issue of The Wire ever published - that's more than 430 issues of the magazine all archived as searchable and shareable hi-res PDFs. Check out how adverts look in the online edition of the magazine. The free access link will be active for one week from the time this newsletter is sent. Click here.

Like many music organisations, our social media feeds are full of links to responses to the coronavirus lockdown: click the icons below to find links to live streams, talks, podcasts, new online resources and tools for musicians, labels, promoters and the like. In the meantime, our homepage has the following content for your distraction: exclusive mixes by DIY London trio Gentle Stranger and electronic producer Loraine James; streams of new releases and live performances by New York based noise duo Saint Abdullah, avant jazz unit Chicago Underground Quartet, electronic composer Jessica Ekomane, jam band Garcia Peoples, and more.

Still says that access is subscribers only. Great idea, though. Reading material will keep people somewhat sane.

Does for me.
That one did it, cheers
Maybe it's just me - but is there a way to download entire issues? Seems to only work for selected pages...

I think I can read all the issues, and have downloaded several pages from one by clicking the printer icon? I think you can down load pages- don't know about whole issues...
Ok. That's what I thought. Time to start flipping quickly. :-)

I think if you use the search function it gives the issues but doesn't let you go to them, but you can then select the ones you wish as the free access...
