Around 20C and clear, Sunny skies in SW England this weekend.

Both 'Gem' and 'Golden Hare' are also very nice indeed. I wonder if they still do t-shirts - my last one bought at the Fest fell apart recently. Another good one tried recently is that 'Sharp's Special' from Rock, Cornwall. No doubt specially fermented for the spoilt Metropolitan Tarquins who frequent the beaches there in Summer but a good beer, nevertheless.

Always good when this one is on 'Special' - £1.99 usual price is a bit 'rich' for me. Too bad that they don't bring back the Bath Fest jazz weekend that usually goes with it. Responsible drinkers shouldn't fear anything. Their 'sights' are on the cheapo no-name beer brands, 2L bottles of mega-cheap cac cider and discount 10 packs of Stella churned out by the supermarkets. If it cuts down some of the mindless "pre-loading" and binge drinking that goes on in much of this country thanks to such 'offers' then bring it on !

Same here. They obviously don't 'do' Europe either

Leonard Chess Chubby Checker Cubby Brocoli

agreed, I only ordered about half a dozen times from him but his service was excellent. Same here. The legacy of that is a lovely stash of King and Toshiba Blue Note and Pacific Jazz LPs he supplied. They were/are immaculate.

BARGAIN! Indeed - the place of origin can't have helped, I guess, for this sale.

This is one New Jazz LP sleeve that I would keep under lock and key with any kids around. It just says "grab me" !

That looks disgusting! Just two nachos to deal with that slurp would be optimistic..

Sorry to hear this - good luck with your search. From what I hear it looks as if things are starting to pick up in the US so hopefully some of that will rub off.

Remind me that when I retire I should haul myself and my un-opened Mosaic boxes up to Manchester..

Certain morons over here have implemented all of this too

Good move - I really should try that - starting with the Lester/Basie Mosaic when it arrives..
