I used to edit a Stockport fanzine called Out of Town which was a contemporary of City Fun Volume 1. This is an article on "Fanzines" from our final edition of March 1981 which contains a few comments on City Fun. I remember the lads who ran it - Andy Zero, Neil and co. The original intention was to print an interview I did with 2 or 3 of them in the Circus Tavern (or it may have been the City Inn) but we got so plastered I managed to lose the notes I made on the 192 home. I think the article on fanzines replaced the intended interview.

Towards the end we had a lot of problems with printing (it was a free mag) and the last couple of editions were actually printed by City Fun. One of their dads used to work in the financial part of Manchester (Neil, I think, if he was the one from Glossop) and we would sneak in at weekends as he had a key and use their photocopier. Fanzine culture was like that then - most of our paper came from punks who'd pinch it from work. City Fun was without doubt the yardstick all the other contemporary fanzines used to judge themselves by. Good times.

Article publicising the setting-up of The Leadmill in Sheffield with the remit of 'community arts centre'; I had no idea about its co-operative hippie wholefoods roots. The Fall and Cabaret Voltaire played a benefit gig for it that raised £800. The tone is great, such as this attempt to reassure potential punters that everyone will be welcome: "Arts centres tend to conjure up visions of a bunch of snobs sat round discussing brush strokes...this is not what the Leadmill is setting out to be."

Possibly my favourite City Fun feature, 'Pam Ponders' is the pretend diary column of a 40-something alternative-lifestyler and the most exquisitely barbed satire of ageing hippies. Phrases like "PENILE FASCISM" and descriptions of mature chats over a nut cutlet abound amidst the salacious reportage of provincial free love and updates on family pets Sitwell the cat and Prentiss the slug. If you didn't know City Fun's politics, it might just seem like a cruel right-wing mockery of 60s and 70s utopianism. I suspect, however, that what really underpinned 'Pam Ponders' was not so much a rejection of the hippie values that a lot of younger punks and post-punks shared, but the feeling that their elders hadn't actually gone far enough; they'd become complacent, mystified and cliched.
