(c’87-’88)

To help promote a joint gig at Frimley Community Centre, members of Magic Moments at Twilight Time and The Charles decided to launch a fanzine called The Grain. The first issue of which was published in June ’87 and could be picked up for free at The Rock Box, Camberley. It ran for 10 issues, ending with “The Last Grain” in February ’88.

The Grain was also the name given to the Frimley band co-op that included Magic Moments at Twilight Time, The Charles, Momento Mori, The Visionairies, Greed, and Slack Bladder; and they all featured in later issues. Volume 2, also issued in June ’87, doubled as the program for the initial two bands first gig. The Grain Volume 6, published in September ’87 doubled as the program for the free festival held at Highland Farm, Frimley Green, on 20 September ’87, in aid of Greenpeace.
