In Prof ile...Laura McQuade, Prints of ParadiseEach week we focus on a Glasgow business, organisation or professional, and quiz them on their success, future plans and favourite things about the city…

Q. Who and what are Prints of Paradise?

A. Prints of Paradise originated off the back of luxury resort wear brand Savannah & Some- Adrienne [MacLean - Prints of Paradise’s co-founder and designer) studied at ECA in Edinburgh and myself at Glasgow Caledonian. We both educated ourselves through work placements the year after graduation before setting up our own label in 2012. We’ve been best friends since Primary 1 and never intended to start our own label but with a complimentary set of skills and with a similar career vision, it was inevitable.

Q. How did Prints of Paradise begin? A. We had modest success with Savannah & Some featuring in

Company magazine, exhibiting at Pure London and being stocked in luxury stores in St. Tropez and Wolf & Badger on Dover St, London. However, sales were slow and we wanted faster results so Prints of Paradise emerged. The business

to move. We had help in the form of funding and being placed in a business incubator from Digital Enterprise Glasgow whilst Business Gateway and the Princes Trust provided us with guidance and specialist support.

Q. What was the most

up your own company?A. Not knowing what’s around the corner… having patience to persist. In most cases nothing happens over night and it’s a case of getting yourself out there and building a reputable image, which takes time and effort.

Q. What advice would you give to someone thinking about starting their own business?A. It’s a journey not a destination and failures happen along the way!

Q. What’s been the biggest achievement for Prints of Paradise so far?

A. Connections we’ve established with big retailers, featuring in Grazia magazine, retailing and featuring in Nylon, NY. Being asked to do an exclusive range for Wolf & Badger. Meeting the Duchess of Cornwall and receiving a thank you note from her! Collaborating with Radisson Blu Hotels. There have been lots and I hope lots more to come!

Q. What’s next for Prints of Paradise?A. We’ve just launched our Indigo Collection online so we will be focussed on that and hopefully growth and success!

In Prof ile...Laura McQuade, Prints of ParadiseEach week we focus on a Glasgow business, organisation or professional, and quiz them on their success, future plans and favourite things about the city…

Q. Who and what are Prints of Paradise?

A. Prints of Paradise originated off the back of luxury resort wear brand Savannah & Some- Adrienne [MacLean - Prints of Paradise’s co-founder and designer) studied at ECA in Edinburgh and myself at Glasgow Caledonian. We both educated ourselves through work placements the year after graduation before setting up our own label in 2012. We’ve been best friends since Primary 1 and never intended to start our own label but with a complimentary set of skills and with a similar career vision, it was inevitable.

Q. How did Prints of Paradise begin? A. We had modest success with Savannah & Some featuring in

Company magazine, exhibiting at Pure London and being stocked in luxury stores in St. Tropez and Wolf & Badger on Dover St, London. However, sales were slow and we wanted faster results so Prints of Paradise emerged. The business

to move. We had help in the form of funding and being placed in a business incubator from Digital Enterprise Glasgow whilst Business Gateway and the Princes Trust provided us with guidance and specialist support.

Q. What was the most

up your own company?A. Not knowing what’s around the corner… having patience to persist. In most cases nothing happens over night and it’s a case of getting yourself out there and building a reputable image, which takes time and effort.

Q. What advice would you give to someone thinking about starting their own business?A. It’s a journey not a destination and failures happen along the way!

Q. What’s been the biggest achievement for Prints of Paradise so far?

A. Connections we’ve established with big retailers, featuring in Grazia magazine, retailing and featuring in Nylon, NY. Being asked to do an exclusive range for Wolf & Badger. Meeting the Duchess of Cornwall and receiving a thank you note from her! Collaborating with Radisson Blu Hotels. There have been lots and I hope lots more to come!

The four members of Trapped in Kansas (Finn Le Marinel, Christopher Ward, Iain Symes and Gregor Fair) met during their time living in halls at University in Ayr.

The Darien Venture in particular

The EP received excellent reviews and exposure on BBC Radio was to follow shortly, with Steve Lamaq naming Trapped in Kansas as his band of the week on BBC Radio 6 Music and track plays on Radio 1. The band also performed on the Scottish festival scene, playing at

With the band set to begin recording their first solo EP in December this year and a 2011 tour already planned, the band that everybody should see shows no sign of slowing down.

The animals are then paraded through the streets of the town, amongst the thousands of spectators who turn out to watch the colourful display, creating a sea of colour and sound.

Tomboy Burritos & Beers, Ashton Lane, Glasgow,

Recently reviewed:THERE’S a new badboy burrito shop in town, and they mean serious business. They’re so serious, in fact, that (until your read this review or see for yourself) you’ll have absolutely no idea what you’re walking into – just like us.

Last Saturday night, on a pre-gig, hunger-induced crawl of Ashton Lane, myself and a couple of friends ended up standing outside Tomboy Burritos & Beer – staring at what appeared to be the menu, consisting only of burritos, nachos, quesadillas…and (as the name would suggest) beer and any form of drink that you can possibly imagine involving tequila.

vintage bus (or truck, there was some debate as to its original use) being used as a bar and what appeared to be a food-cart in the corner.

It was only when we sat down at one of the wooden booths and heard the very busy waitresses calling out people’s names (Wiseman, to be precise) to collect orders that we realised this was going to be a different eating-out experience altogether.

what we saw outside, you basically choose from a burrito, quesadilla or nachos and, after a quick glance over the ‘Rules’ – hanging

forms in front of us. The idea is, you write your name, choose one of the previously

and then any extras by ticking the boxes on

the form. You then hand in at the bar, pay for it and watch whilst they cook it in front of you at the cart, before they call out your name when the order is ready. Simple, fun and way more entertaining that choosing from a standard menu.

I went for a Burrito with Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (shredded chilli chicken)

cheese extras. In the name of rounded-reviewing, one of my friends decided to try the nachos and the other chose the quesadillas. We placed our orders, waited (momentarily) for our drinks (try a Tommy’s Margarita, £5, with tequila, lime and agave - they are the perfect combination of tasty and lethal) and took a proper gander around the place. Exposed brick walls, clever branding (on literally everything, from the napkins that state “You’ll be needing this” to the “Tomgirl” toilets) and quirky touches make the place entirely different to anywhere else I’ve eaten out in Glasgow.

arriving on silver, canteen-style trays, with mine wrapped in tinfoil and sealed with a Tomboy sticker (I’m telling you, everything is branded). Despite initially asking, “Eh, where is the cutlery” we soon got into the

say it’s the best burrito I ever had outside of America…and huge! Which is impressive considering that all of their burrito options, no matter what you load them with, are £7.50.

about 30 minutes, but that suited us perfectly

for the night. If you’re in the West End (or actually if you’re anywhere) and want no-fuss, no-wait, delicious, American food-

anywhere else.

ving of the reputation they holditsanxxxxthing

Talented singer/songwriter Lynnie Carson is back with new band, Silver Springs, to release their self-titled debut album, available on iTunes.

from the West Coast of America, Silver Springs is a guitar driven, classic rock, full-band experience that is reminiscent of the
