  • A Kickstarter campaign is asking for £30,000 to publish a new book by Bill Brewster. Titled Clubbed, the book brings together "logos, posters, photography, tickets, menus, cover art, signage, lanyards, fonts and [...] flyers" from dozens of UK nightlife institutions—including fabric, Plastic People, The Haçienda, Ministry Of Sound and Blue Note, among others—from the past 35 years. The material has been compiled by Rick Banks, the director of the book's Manchester-based publisher, Face37. Clubbed is billed as a "visual history of UK club culture." The 360-page deluxe hardback edition will feature a diamond dust fabric cover with foil. You can visit the Kickstarter page here. Listen to Bill Brewster's RA Exchange.
