Seventies Throwback!

Today saw the official launch of Seventy3’ Magazine – Sunderland’s newest retro football magazine – celebrating both the past, whilst casting a beady eye on all things red and white in the current climate.

You only tend to launch a new football magazine once in your lifetime and so the Seventy3’ team have assembled a launch week to end all launch weeks!

Starting on Wednesday 16^th March, the location to be is Waterstones book store, Sunderland, where an hour’s magazine signing session will take place from 16.00-17.00, with special guest editor – Michael Gray and former wing wizard – Nicky Summerbee in attendance, along with local author and Seventy3’ writer – Andy Powell and of course the Seventy3’ team.

The Roker Report will be at that event, and are looking forward to it more than you'd know! A full report from what promises to be a very special night will be right here on this site towards the end of the week!

Then on Friday the 18^th March, the City’s library will host a Q & A session with Micky Gray and the team from 13.00-14.30, where tickets are free and available from the library itself on Fawcett Street.

The following day (Saturday 19^th March) all eyes focus on Porterfield’s Bar, Sunderland, for the Seventy3’ retro football fashion show, opened by the City’s Mayor and featuring the likes of local boxer – Tony Jeffries, with proceedings kicking off at 19.30.

The finale to the week (Sunday 22nd March) culminates in Privilege, Sunderland for a massive pre match launch party from 10am onwards. On show will be an array of models and local comedian – Wee Phillie, continuing after the match too – a real all day event!
