THIS MONTH'S CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDE...

James McNair

James has written for MOJO since 1996. He left London for the North East in 2015, and in no way misses the myriad cultural happenings and wealth of anchoring friendships he left behind, instead preferring clean air and sand between his toes. He writes about World Party from page 36.

Alysse Gafkjen

Alysse is an American portrait photographer whose work has served as the artwork for countless albums and promotional content for musicians of all genres. She photographed Sturgill Simpson on page 50. You can find more of her work at alyssegafkjen.com or follow her on Instagram @alyssegafkjen.

Michael Jones

Michael spent 10 years editing puzzle magazines, then 10 years writing about films for a TV guide. Music is just about the only other thing he knows, so now he compiles MOJO’s crossword – but won’t even try to claim he’ll ever know as much as the great Fred Dellar. He’s already missed a trick by not using the pseudonym MIJO.
