Welcome to Retro Metro,
the electric magazine for modern living.

‘So what’, I hear you muse, ‘have you been doing all this time?’

Well. It’s like this:

John Lennon said (among other things), 'Life is what happens while you're making other plans' And doesn't it just?

But at the end of that period of life happening; life going off all around you, and then laughing til your brain tingles with the very madness of it all; if you can still remember what you had been planning when life hit you, then it's pretty much odds-on that the original plan was maybe quite a good idea in the
first place …

So. Apologies for abandoning you, our esteemed reader, so rudely and randomly in the ether.

And now welcome, dear friend, to Retro Metro Issue One-and-a-Half.

We'll be adding more material during the next few months, but for the moment all we have for you is a review of a rather walloping show, plus some lovely things to buy, in Norah Docker's expanded shopping, news and events pages.
