3-31 MARCH YOU’VE GOT 29 DAYS TO LIVE! So here it is. The all-new List, ushering in a new era for Scotland’s best-loved listings magazine. In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve upped our coverage from 15 days’ worth of events to 29 days, and our page count from 96 to 128 pages in order to accommodate more features, previews and reviews. The change is designed to offer readers better value for money without compromising on the things The Listhas been doing brilliantly well for 25 years: in-depth arts features; insightful reviews; comprehensive eating and drinking guides; and a What’s On section that’s essential to helping Scots plan their cultural lives. It’s the same exciting package, only bigger and better.
