Hope Road

This week I have mostly been..

• anticipating the arrival of bottles of Saltaire Brewery’s new Triple Chocoholic beer, remarkable on draught – research continues
• touring Manchester’s northern quarter with the Notorious Wig, encountering Shrek-a-likes and tasting something wonderful called Marble Decadence, an imperial stout, at the Marble Arch a pub with cunningly designed sloping floors… www.reluctantscooper.co.uk/2010/05/bottled-up-marble-decadence.html
• crouching near the letterbox daily at post time, hoping for an advance copy of Sound System Scratch, a collection of previously unreleased Lee Perry dub plate mixes from the redoubtable Pressure Sounds – see www.pressure.co.uk/news/-/194/ – nothing so far…
