Live Music Gigs & The Arts in Somerset, Dorset & bits of Devon

Suited & Booted magazine and website is up for sale.

After 10 years of producing the magazine the time is right for me to move on; but I'd like to see the magazine continue. So I'm looking for a person (or persons) to take over the magzine and take it forward.

It is for sale at the bargain price of £6000 (this is for the South Somerset & West Dorset edition and web site). I'd expect any new owner to make this money back within one year.

I'll provide training and support to the new owner until they get up to speed. I've loved my time with Suited & Booted but I have new challenges to address. I started Suited & Booted with 16 black & white pages almost 10 years ago and have produced every edition to the rather better publication that it is today.

If you are serious about wanting to know more (I'll expect you to sign a non disclosure agreement) then send an email to suit_boot@yahoo.co.uk.

Thank you

John The Editor

Live music and gigs in (Somerset, Dorset and Devon) is what Suited & Booted is all about. Suited and Booted is the only independent local source of musical events information.

Because we are not subsidised by any organisation or the recipient of any Local Authority or Arts Council grant money we have a truly independent voice.

The magazine is funded soley by advertising revenues and we are proud to say that many of our advertisers have been with us for years. Without them there would be no magazine, so thank you one and all.

The Taunton/Bridgwater edition of Suited & Booted has been around since 1997 and the South Somerset & West Dorset edition will have been around 10 years in March 2012. We deliver 5000 copies of the South Somerset & West Dorset edition to more than 150 locations, 11 times a year.

As well as promoting live music in the region we have supported innumerable charity events and causes.

This web site is an extension to the printed editions of the magazine and will help you find the venues and bands local to you.
