The International Network of Street Papers has signed up a bunch of supporters to learn the trade of selling the Big Issue this week and today regular vendors will be mentoring a posse of indie musicians on the streets of Glasgow. Look out for James Graham of Twilight Sad and Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches (pictured), who will be joined by Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai and all of Twin Atlantic, a band who are clearly after the prize for selling the most copies of the magazine.
