It’s that time of year again, the holidays are around the corner and all the big retailers are getting ready for the busiest time of year. But we want to show some love to the smaller, local shops and independent makers who are also preparing for the gift-giving season to remind folk to shop local at this time of year.

For this issue, we asked residents to send in reviews of their favourite artists and writers working and living in Govanhill. Hopefully, you can find your next obsession.
