Nigel Waterson: Wrong Man, Right Place, Right Time.

Eastbourne Herald: 5th February 2010
Who else has seen this week’s Herald? Anyone else noticed the absolutely ridiculous amount of photo oppurtunities that Waterson has managed to sneak in this week?! After a few weeks (…no wait months…hang on, maybe even years…) of bad press, voters leaving him, and a reputation that’s dropping like John Terry’s underwear, he’s turned up at the college, at the hospital, at Tesco, at council meetings, at housing complaints, and yes…even with regular, working class constituents. I know, never thought i’d see the day either!
Try not to be too manipulated by the cheap tactics that the Eastbourne Tories are employing at the moment. They’ve got him jumping on every bangwagon, just as he was accused of doing the other week. Fair enough he’s gotta fight for the seat, but gheeeeeeeeezus, show us a bit more respect and don’t treat us like gullible twats.

Eyes On The Prize...
A Force For Good.
February 3, 2010
We always liked to think that somehow SQ made a difference in the community. Now we know that to be true.
We know thousands of you are members of the facebook page, and even more of you probably read the article. Everyone knows about Big Dave. The elderly, bearded homeless man who’s become something of an Eastbourne legend.
Well, following huge pressure and build up from the facebook group and the SQ article, we can reveal that Big Dave (Alan Walker) has now been housed.
This is a massive deal! It’s vindication alone that all the work we’ve put in over this time, joining the page, reading the feature, it can make such a massive difference. Thank you to everyone involved!
Visit facebook.com/SQMAG for the whole story!

Big Dave - Homeless No More.
The Message Breaks Through…
January 18, 2010
Finally.
There are beginning to be some strong indications that a couple of months after release the wider message SQ is trying to promote may very well be reaching out to the population. In the last few days alone we’ve had a vast amount of tweets and emails from people all wanting to link up with the SQ vision. Even the Managing Director of Starbucks wants to be seen with SQ. Promising times lie ahead! Expansion isn’t far away.
Issue 2 is slowly coming along, going to be bigger and better than issue 1 so watch out for it. But we’ll keep you informed.

The Ascent Continues in 2010.

Happy New Year!
SQ hopes that Christmas and the New Year was as uneventful and as much of an anti-climax as it is each year for all of you! Good to get the pleasantries out of the way. It’s been quiet on here as of late, with some of SQ being out of the country and everything it’s almost like we rested for a week or two. Well, nearly.
Conducted a big interview last week, SQ’s second coverstar was grilled and it was a success as we expected, much thanks to the interviewee whose identity will be revealed in the run up to Issue 2’s release!
Also on a nice sidenote, here is a review of SQ Issue 1 from a local author and blogger, a further good look!

Calling All Readers…
December 17, 2009
If you haven’t done so already, PLEASE make the effort to join our official facebook page which can be found here!
We’re making a big push with our online presence before the launch of our second issue, and the more fans the better, it’ll take half a minute to join, what’s the harm?!
Also may aswell throw another pretty sick tune out there right now; Lupe Fiasco dropped his “Enemy of the State” mixtape last month, and while the Lasers album (as featured in the first issue!) is being delayed, two mixtapes are being released as a little taster of what is to come, check the track below!
KTF! x
Lining up content…
December 17, 2009
With the next issue deadline looming just round the corner at the end of Jan, SQ HQ is having to continue grinding in it’s usual fashion. Recently we interviewed Stephen Lloyd, Lib Dems candidate for MP of Eastbourne (check the site for pics) as part of our ‘Uncovering…’ section and as a run up to the next general election. We hope to clue you in on his policies, attitudes and ideas he has to further Eastbourne and the community as a whole.
Plus major improvements to the features of our ‘web presence’ this week, you can now read the current issue via our site! So if you haven’t had the chance to pick a copy up, it’s there for you right now!

This week SQ hit the airwaves. We were invited as guests to appear on EYR, a 3 day event designed to highlight some of the town’s best young talents, giving students a chance to run the radio scene! SQ were invited as guests onto one show to discuss our success so far. The publicity for us isn’t stopping, just check last weeks Herald for the EBA coverage, we’re there too!
Had we actually managed to present a show on EYR this is no doubt a song that’d be getting a bit of airplay, featured on the Autumn SQ Playlist, this is the new video for Wiley’s massive new track “Take That!”
Is He Back?!
November 9, 2009
After near enough 9 years of failing to live up to his groundbreaking first album; “Born To Do It”, is the newly hench R&B star Craig David finally about to return to the big time?! This track leaked the other day and it’s actually pretty sick, check it.

What’s happening?!
Big week for SQ! First of all the 3000 copies are done and dusted, and issue one is officially released! Pick up your copy from various independent retailers around Eastbourne, and the massive SDC release will happen from Monday officially, with Eastbourne schools following very shortly. Things are looking good, positive feedback so far so we’re very hopeful of a massively successful first issue.
Now today SQ was officially recognised by Eastbourne’s finest as we were nominated, and then Highly Commended, in the category for Young Entrepreneur of the Year. And the massive applause and respect we got from all was very much appreciated, so thank you! Such a massive thing for the 3 of us to achieve today, we’ve come far and there’s nothing to stop us going any further!
Please pick up a copy if you see it lying around somewhere, give it a read, and most importantly spread the word and tell us what you think!
Keep the faith!
