Robert and Alfie in LUNCHEON Magazine

Check out Martin Clark´s interview with Robert Wyatt and Alfreda Benge in LUNCHEON N.8 AW 2019-20:"Robert Wyatt and Alfie Benge" (p 90 - 101).
Great photos by Kuba Ryniewicz.
I don´t know how big this magazine is, but here in Norway it seems to be for sale in one place only! Since I was in Oslo for the weekend I found it at Narvesen kiosk/Continental, where they had copies with 2 of the 3 front pages available.
