When preparing for the Fall Futures and Pasts Festival, Michelle Hickman, who was curating the festival exhibition, suggested she'd like to make a fanzine for the weekend. We'd long wanted to publish a Fall fanzine, so we encouraged Michelle and offered help with production. The result, Load O Bloody Nowt, was produced and distributed at Futures and Pasts. When we were asked if we could collaborate on the Women of The Fall Weekender, a fanzine seemed to be the obvious option, so Michelle created a second issue in conjunction with the event. So now, suddenly, we were two issues deep with plans for more.
Issues #1 and #2 are now available to order on our website.
Issue # 1
Made in collaboration with The Futures and Pasts Festival, features Michael Pollard, Graham Duff, Hey! Luciani cast of 2026, Paul & Steve Hanley, John Cooper Clarke, Funky Simon Wolstencroft, and The Fallen Women. Cover image: Stanley Chow.
Issue # 2
Made in collaboration with The Women of The Fall Weekender, this issue features Una Baines, Maxine Peake, Megan Brierley, Poppycock, Julia Adamson, Paula Greenwood, Miki Berenyi and a gallery of performers at The Weekender. Cover image: Suzanne Smith.
These fanzines sit alongside our growing list of Fall publications. See those here.
TOP TIP: After the first item, our wesbite calculates shipping costs based on weight rather than per item. Adding the fanzines to any book order shouldn't add any further shipping costs.
