Date note
The date is printed in the review heading as 28/10/86 and the text calls it a ‘very wet Tuesday’, which agrees with the calendar (28 October 1986 was a Tuesday); it dates the gig, not the publication of the fanzine issue.

This is one typed page from an unidentified fanzine, headed Reviews, with no masthead, issue number or publication date. The right-hand column reviews The New English and The Third Man at the Tunnel Club in Greenwich on 28/10/86. 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. The page ends with a sign-off, ‘Nik’, and a handwritten note crediting the magazine’s artwork. The writer’s connection to the band is not stated. It is a contemporary account of one evening, not a setlist, and the zine’s title and issue remain unestablished.

The New English were by far the best, with Sharef playing some brilliant riffs.

Unattributed fanzine reviewer, review of the 28/10/86 Tunnel Club gig; the page is signed off 'Nik' and the zine is unidentified.
