It’s hard to believe this is Now Then #80. We’re not going anywhere. If you want any back issues, you can always order them on our shop. £4 a pop including UK postage.

If you’re lucky there’ll be a promotional flexi disc vinyl inserted into this magazine, courtesy of CPU Records. If you haven’t got one, seek and you shall find. Read more about it on page 40.

Lastly, don’t miss our Kate Tempest show at Plug on 8 November. At the time of going to print she’s favourite to win the Mercury Music Prize. Tickets on the Plug website.
