Issue 25 Is Here

Making the quarter-century

Dear Readers,

Good evening. Issue 25 has finally landed, and it is looking spectacular. It will be arriving with subscribers at the start of next week.

This issue is glistening with jewels: there’s a profile of Andy Lee, the straight Dubliner pornstar who has set up the world’s first ‘gay-for-pay’ university in a Cambridgeshire village. Ella Benson Easton went to New College, Oxford, to speak to Robin Lane Fox, perhaps the last truly eccentric Oxbridge don still standing in our unarmorial age. Tamlin Magee remembers his father, Mike Magee, the IT journalist who introduced Tantra to Britain. Jade Angeles Fitton interviewed Petula Clark about the Picasso café on the King’s Road. Katie Lewis reminisces about her relationship with Pete Doherty. There’s new fiction from Toby Lloyd and a long list of London’s sexiest restaurants, with much more else besides.

With beautiful illustrations from Natalya Lobanova, Miki Lowe, Davey Jones and Nishant Choksi, a single issue at £7.50 really makes for the second-best deal in British publishing.

Of course, you can go one better. Starting at just £29.99 for the year, a print subscription to The Fence is a bafflingly affordable price for the UK’s Only Magazine, saving you more than a tenner on shipping costs.

We hope you have a lovely weekend, and we look forward to joining you next Tuesday with a conventional ‘Off The Fence’.

All the best,

TF
