Proper mixed bag this one Si ! And very interesting it is for it ! Couldnt have been many fanzines with a Conflict & GBH gig review next to a Paul Young gig review ! The ATM gig is looking less likely by the day....still living in hope though ! Did you ever meet up with Marcus from Pax ? Would be intering to know if he still has any interest in the punk stuff ! And if he's got a box of singles under his bed ! Chris
As ever, many thanks Chris - sorry for the short and delayed reply. The last few weeks have been really crappy - bereavement and some terrible news about a brother of mine - I will be in touch.
Take care lad
