Ian Part Time

About Me

Hello ladies and gentleman. I'm Ian Part Time (not my real name, that's Ian Full Time), I used to do a fanzine called Part Time Punk (16 issues from 2001 - 2005) which looked at punk rock from the 70s plus bits of everything else really. I like writing but haven't got the time to put a zine together these days, hence this page.
