Cross Rhythms direct to be launched as part of new initiative

CROSS RHYTHMS has announced two new initiatives. Cross Rhythms Direct, a new retail and mail order service whereby customers can purchase the vast majority of Christian music albums both retail and independent will be launched on November 1st. Explained Cross Rhythms' general manager Jonathan Bellamy, "Cross Rhythms magazine is now acknowledged as having an exhaustive review section for Christian music. We feel that making the music available - both online and through mail order - will be a great service to our readers. It should also provide a much-needed sales outlet for the hundreds of quality UK independent artists. For us at Cross Rhythms it will bring some extra resource to help under gird the media opportunities set before us."

In another move, Cross Rhythms magazine is planning to be published on the Internet, probably beginning with the March/April 2003 issue. The website version will feature all the articles, reviews and photographs as printed in each issue plus extra content not available in the printed version. A year's subscription to the online version of the magazine will cost £15.00.
