Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

According to wikipedia “a socialite is a person who participates in social activities and spends a significant amount of time entertaining and being entertained at fashionable upper-class events” and so we think it’s perhaps a very strange name for a network of portrait screens in Revolution bars and the Australian themed bar chain Walkabout.
