The Slate – Issue 1 – Dublin, December 2000

slate issue 1 cover December 2000

Eleven years ago this month, the first issue of Slate magazine hit the streets. This was its pledge…

This ethos remained a feature throughout its impressive run of a further 26 issues.  And it was a bargain. All you had to do was get into Tower records and pick up your free copy before supplies ran out.

    Funnily enough I was just looking through the LAST EVER ISSUE during the week. It frequently induced snot flying out the nose guffaws when reading. Thompson and Venables Boyband and the Blacks in the Jacks issues being two highlights.

    Sadly missed.

    I was at that “most anticipated” Primal Scream gig in The Point along 2 or 300 other punters. It was still one of the all time great gigs. They just went for it full tilt take no prisioners with Kevin Shiels sticking his foot full on the accelrtr.

    Hi Dave, just 300 punters at the Primals gig? They’ll be hoping for more than that this December.
