Our heartfelt condolences go out to the friends and family of Colm Callanan who passed away earlier this week. Colm, aka "Psycho", had a heart of gold and was a fixture at many punk gigs in and around the UK. His photographs gave a unique perspective of Rebellion, and many other shows. He will be remembered and sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
