Steve Beale 'Radical subcultures, and capturing Banksy'

Series OneThis episode of #TheNewAbnormal features the multiple award-winning magazine editor and brand consultant Steve Beale, who's observed / written about / been part of leading-edge subcultures for many years. The ex-editor of the legendary Sleaze Nation, he then went on to write for an array of titles, including being Editor at Large of The Face and Senior Editor of Arena...before making the entirely obvious move to join Fighters Only, the world's largest mixed martial arts mag, as Editor in Chief. He then became a Director with the Lazarides Gallery Group - the most influential art gallery of the 21st Century. He's now Editorial Director of the brand editing collective Langsford Crimson, whilst also being a Director of the world's only premium fightwear brand 'Battles of London' which was described by The Times as 'Combat Sports Luxe'. So this interview is as wide-ranging and interesting as you'd expect; including everything from the cutting-edge publishing scene to combat sports.
