Publication of the day

Loire Magazine is a new fanzine/magazine that has been set up in my home town - Wigan, It is run and edited by a local journalist/author/football fan Vauganie. The magazine is quite in depth with content ranging from An Open Letter To School Re unionists to The Day That Pete Came To Wigan - The man himself Pete Doherty. There is also interviews with artist/design illustrator Ben Lamb which again is quite in depth and a good read and Dresser a interview with Danish shirt extraordinaire Mikkle Rude. The magazine itself is top quality and well worth £3.50 of the queens finest.
