23rd January 2015 : After a dozen Uniqulture events in 2014, we have been on the most amazing journey. Tin Pan Alley and Soho (the BEST and most creative/sexy part of central London) are now under more threat from destroyers (aka "developers") in the right wing rich wrong race to stamp out individuality and individualism from Britain. Our belief in the positivity of self expression is not shaken. Dizzy and Bruno are back on Tin Pan Alley. To Save The Spirit of Soho, it is now necessary to occupy the 12 Bar to raise attention. The Zine TV is born when Dizzy filmed Bruno with Smiley & The Underclass talking about revolution and art. The same night, Caffy (The Zine Events) is along the road in Central London with Heather the Minx. It's our Playhard rock n roll show. Rupert Hitchcox and David Montgomery are in The Phoenix Bar. Our music movements have started something all over again. 2015, with our game raised.
