# Tunnel Club review, 28 October 1986

> This typed fanzine page, headed Reviews, includes a review of The New English and The Third Man at the Tunnel Club in Greenwich on 28 October 1986. The writer reports an audience of 25 on a wet Tuesday in an industrial setting, says The New English were by far the better of the two bands, and praises the riffs of a guitarist spelt Sharef. The rest of the page covers gigs by other acts, and it ends with a sign-off from Nik and a handwritten note crediting the magazine’s artwork. It is the earliest review of the band in the archive.
