It was so good to see a full group out last week. It was a very good day, with Ruvimbo doing an excellent job working her interviewing techniques and putting some really good questions to Nigel Moffatt, the writer and recording artist who we interviewed. To be reminded of what he has done check here. Dwayne was in charge of filming and Peter was doing the sound check, with Yannis supervising and guiding the whole process. Overall the interview went really well and it was interesting to hear Nigel's perspectives. Hopefully we will be able to see a raw cut of the interview in the near future.
In terms of the magazine, we started going through ideas of the content and the roles people could play in making it as shown below . These are in no way solid and are just the preliminary ideas thrown out by the group.
