Catalogue note
VICE Volume 4 Number 1, The Islanders Issue, a free UK edition built around an extended editorial visit to Barra in the Outer Hebrides. The issue treats Gaelic language, island life, fishing, food, alcohol, racism, local music and everyday social culture as its principal subject, while also carrying contemporary music coverage including an early Jammer vs. Skepta feature. Jamie-James Medina provides the cover photograph. The result is an unusually concentrated example of early UK VICE turning a geographically specific community into a whole-issue documentary project.
