10 Years of IP1 Magazine: Issue 5!

Posted by Howard on 05 January 2010 | 0 Comments

The first of several re-launches; this issue of IP1 was designed on a computer!

Much was made of Ipswich club life back in November 2001, with editor Tom Greig pointing to an unhealthy renaissance taking place in the town as newly opened and reopened commercial venues Pals, Liquid, Kartouche and Sound Academy began to dominate the local scene, dishing up stodgy chart or cheese orientated dance music and pushing out successful local artists and promoters who had surfaced as major faces on the UK drum n bass scene – the likes of Photek, Plaid, Kirk Degiorgio, Certificate 18 and Paul Arnold of Phunk Chunk.

Also in issue 5 was an interview with Guinness drinking, Partridge watching, cigar smoking, semi professional trolley stealing, Time Stood Still – a local hardcore punk rock band who I can’t find anywhere on the net. Guess they never made it!
