Hello again!
In our last newsletter we shared with you our intimate look into Mirrl, an incredibly unique and global business operating out of a back alley in Govanhill. We spoke with Mirrl for our Arts, Culture and Subcultures issue, as part of our exploration into the vibrant scenes and cultures in Govanhill and the wider Southside.
Not only did we meet with the Mirrl team to talk about their unique business and how it came to be, we also spoke with some other lesser known clubs and societies in the area. Because one of the best things about living in Govanhill is that there’s so much to do and so much to explore!
In this weeks newsletter we’ll share with you even more stories like it from the previous issue, as well as more ways you can get involved with Greater Govanhill ahead of our festive edition.
