This month’s contributors

Polly glass

Our features editor went a bit mad on the commissioning front this month, so as well as the features in these pages there’s a load more great stuff at classicrockmagazine.com that we couldn’t quite cram in. She also interviewed Lzzy Hale (p.42) and Jennifer Batten (p.74), and delved into the thought-provoking subject of rock’s provocateurs (p88).

Eleanor goodman

Eleanor Goodman is the deputy editor of Classic Rock’s sister title, Metal Hammer, and has been writing about heavy music for 15 years. This month she talks to Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel and Nightwish’s Floor Jansen for us as part of our joint effort across both magazines to celebrate women in rock and metal.

Emma johnston

Emma has been working at the coal face of rock’n’roll journalism for the past 20 years – her fate was sealed when she fell in love with the Manic Street Preachers as an impressionable teenager in the early 90s. When she’s not interviewing bands, she can usually be found hanging out with horses (the four-legged kind, not the Patti Smith album, although that’s been known too).
