About Exhibition: Kingdom Come 1977-1979
In the late 1970’s, Dunfermline was at the centre of Fife’s thriving music scene. Fife’s first music punkzine, Kingdom Come, was created by local music enthusiast Johnny Waller. With nothing more than a typewriter, scissors, paste, Letraset and a photocopier, Johnny and his friends brought the burgeoning punk/new wave music scene in Dunfermline to new audiences, helping to connect, inspire and celebrate punk and new wave music in Fife.
The first ever issue of Kingdom Come was published on September 29th 1977, and was available to purchase (for the princely sum of 15 pence per copy) in a variety of outlets, often record shops. There were at least seventeen issues published between 1977 and 1979.
This enlightening exhibition at Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries unveils large scale reproductions of the original zine pages, featuring first-hand reviews, striking photos and hand-drawn comic strips. This exhibition promises to transport you back to that electric period in our local history.
