An article about Bristol Skinheads from a Bath magazine, supplied to me by Chris Brown
Skinheads were youth culture's original whipping boys (and girls), demonised in the press, their look hijacked by the far right. But with skinhead gods Dave and Ansell Collins and the Pioneers appearing together in Bristol this week, it's a chance for the old originals to show us what they were really all about. Chris Brown and Cris Warren talk to local skinheads past and present, and discover it's not just a haircut, it's a way of life

 Dudley Somers of Cardiff published a fanzine during the mid 80s and the zine, along with legendary Hard As Nails, were the main protagonists of a revival of the original skinhead style. If you've never seen these before, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did back then. If you have already seen them but not for a long time, I hope it's a blast from the past. Oh, and there's some nice illustrations in by yours truly!

 Spy Kids zine was written by Ewan Kelly, one of the Spy Kids in their heyday.
Although Ewan disappeared into thin air within a couple of years, his cartoon drawing style will be etched forever on many people's minds. He drew the Glasgow Spy Kids Spirit of '69 tattoo any Spy Kids worth his weight in salt had tattooed on at the time.
Although I preferred the Glaswegian charm and wit of McGinn's Bovver Boot, it was still a decent zine although I think only 2/3 issues. Here is issue 2
