PLAYREWIND REVIVAL: Third time lucky? Or just returning after the summer?

Did this site die out (again!) or were we all just at the beach too much over the summer with the best weather in years?

PlayRewind was to be launched on the 1st of December 2001...The first edition was released to an unexpecting Irish public, a few days later in the first week of December - or so says a blurb on our old site (which can be viewed here).

The old PlayRevind lasted for three, or best to say two point five monthly editions before going into a sometimes daily updating mode.

But the stresses and time involved with updating using our backwards old HTML editor was too much, it only went on for another four months, making it seven in total.

Back then when we first launched, in simpler times, Hot Press hadn't even managed to have a regularly updated site. Now it's a different story there's tons of Irish music sites and blogs.

We may have been crazy trying a second time years after the first attempt and to a vastly different internet landscape. But it looks like we're going to try this again within the next few weeks or maybe two months... third time lucky?
