NOW THEN. ISSUE 7. A MAGAZINE FOR MANCHESTER.

Issue 7 has now been distributed across the city in the usual independent retailers, bars, venues, libraries, galleries, opticians, doctors and so on. The artist this time, Kris Kuksi, has a finely tuned eye for the intricate, producing assemblages of stunning detail of all shapes and sizes. Elsewhere, there are articles on home brewing, wasted plastics and local publishing houses, plenty of reviews, and interviews with poet Hollie McNish, director Ian Townsend and electronic musicians The Orb.
