Right then, one of the biggest holes in my music collection is reggae. I have a few of the obvious ones but looking to broaden my horizons. Post your recommendations below 👇. I’m particularly keen on the heavier dub side of things

This just got forced through the door and turned out to be *way* bigger than expected.

The book Prime Minister, You Wanted To See Me?: A History of Week Ending by Ian Greaves and Justin Lewis. It's A4 and 670 pages so quite a chunk.

Just tried to go to a cafe, the doors were open so we went in. They said, Sorry, we don’t open until 10, can you wait outside please? I checked the time, it was 9.59.

That level of unwelcoming pettiness is not a place I want to spend any time.

Refused entry to a cake cafe because they were closing in 20 minutes. We wanted a bun and a drink not beef Wellington with all the trimmings.

OUT NOW. Consider it a 'best of' if you prefer, or just a 'sampler', whatever it is, you can buy a CD and/or digital download from here and I really hope that you do. Not a bad introduction to my oeuvre. Love to you all. nickworrall.bandcamp.com/album/nick-w...
