Afternoon. A few things have been added to the Archive. Some perhaps lesser known mags of the 1980s and 90s. The importance of magazines is not just for the big names but also for the first time appearing or the person that hasn't got published in ages. Read them at www.oldzinescene.com

Though not in the archive, here's an early 1970s newspaper review of some Honest Ulsterman pamphlets. The reviewer wasn't too impressed, even by the work of some rather famous names...
