Urthona - Buddhism & Art Magazine still have plenty of back issues available, including Issue 15: Struggle and Serenity (2001) which features Allen Ginsberg & The Blue Rinse Brigade, an affectionate memoir of Allen Ginsberg by Dick McBride.
Allen Ginsberg & The Blue Rinse Brigade is a first-hand account of Allen Ginsberg's reading at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in 1993.
It concludes with his memories of Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrey Voznesensky and Roger McGough at the Conegliano Poetry Festival, a two-and-a-half-day festival held in 1996 in honour of City Lights, the Beats and to celebrate Allen Ginsberg’s 70th Birthday.
