SUMMARY:'Bored Stiff: the punk 'zine and scene that refused to die' an evening with Terry Macalister\, Gaye Advert and Emilia Elfrida
DESCRIPTION:FREE ENTRY BUT PLEASE RSVP USING THE FROM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE \nThis event celebrates a Bored Stiff book half a century after a fanzine of that name burst into life at the height of the punk “explosion.” \nOriginal creator Terry Macalister has brought together in contemporary time a group of musicians\, photographers and club owners who made the punk scene what it was then and what it has become now. \nLaid out in the original way using marker pens and manual typewriters\, Bored Stiff\, the book\, is a totally original and authentic window into what academics have called a “significant cultural intervention.” \nWith the help of Martin Hand – a graphic designer\, Bored Stiff contains interviews with band members from the likes of The Adverts\, Penetration and the Menstrual Cramps as well as folk such as Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington who created the Roxy and Vortex punk clubs. \nThere are also copies in this new book of the original fanzine which include live reviews from the late 1970s of the Sex Pistols\, 999 and Iggy Pop and harnesses the raw energy of the early days of punk. \nGaye Advert\, the bassist of the Adverts\, will be at the book launch to talk about her role in the early punk scene along with Emilia Elfrida\, vocalist and songwriter of today’s self-styled lesbian punk band\, the Menstrual Cramps. \nThey will discuss why punk happened\, what it means to them and why it has survived albeit in different form 50 years on. Terry and Martin will explain how they put together the new version of Bored Stiff and why they insist on an analogue production that eschews the superficial glamour of the digital print world. \nTerry Macalister is the original creator of Bored Stiff and the author of the new compilation of old and new material. Excited by the success of the early fanzine\, Terry went on to spend his life in national journalism\, most notably as a specialist editor on The Guardian. \nHe is the author of several books including Crude Britannia (Pluto Press) and Polar Opposites (Guardian ebooks)\, executive producer of The Oil Machine film and co-producer of the forthcoming Earth Mother documentary. He is the founder of a Cambridge-based protest choir and sees himself now more as artist and activist than journalist. \nFREE ENTRY BUT PLEASE RSVP USING THE FROM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
