I've just received the following statement from Mik Coates
about IABV's revival:
Although i have had the blessing from superior to call
my fanzine 'In A Blue Vein' i must stress it will almost definitely
not be up to the high standards of Eds fanzine, particularly
as far as reproduction is concerned as i do not have the money
to make something so well presented, i will do my upmost best
to make it as good as i possibly can, hopefully a decent printer
will be available as i wont have to resort to the decent photocopier.
It will contain an interview with each of the lads separately(questions
compiled from fans and myself), 2 pages of gig reviews, stories
and in 1 case drawings(!) - so if you have any reviews of the
recent shows please, please, please, send it in - i want to
make this for the fans so i want them all to be involved, you
help me and i'll help you. Also included will be a recent news
section, possibly a bit for an old article from IABV, a blast
from the past style thing, and as you know, a bit about the
fanbase on the net, with a top of the pops style run-down of
the best websites dedicated to the bluetones - so keep up the
good work and i promise i will try to produce a fanzine worthy
of the blue army - this should be completed in 2 to 3 weeks
with a chance for a festival based one this summer (if all goes
well) - but don't hold your breath.
I am hoping that the first 100 copies will come complete
with acetate wrap and maybe some sort of bluetones sticker or
something, whatever superior are willing to donate - i want
it to look more than just a crappy old run-of-the-mill fanzine,
only time will tell though.
cheers, and if you have any suggestions, comments, reviews
or are interested in this fanzine, do not hesitate to contact
me.
stay blue
