I am seeing African Head Charge tonight at the Cluny in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This is one of the tour dates that was postponed from February this year. I am expecting to see Don Chandler aka Donstrumental on bass https://m.youtube.com/@donstrumental8905 https://m.facebook.com/AfricanHeadChargeOfficial/

This is from the soundtrack of "The Apple". The notes say that George Clinton was involved in writing the lyrics and arranging it while Wikipedia says "Coby Recht said recording the film's reggae number 'How To Be a Master' was complicated due to actual Jamaican musicians performing on the song and not being able to 'read the charts' that were in English." Bass line is legit.

There is a recent thread of two man with a van operations that will pick up and deliver for around £60. Both came with good recommendations from board members. Maybe that is an option. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/480215-courier-alternative-man-n-van/

I don't trust anything that will not give me the option to opt out. I don't trust anything that tracks me to "help" me get more targeted content. I value this forum but I will have to consider my ongoing use if there is no option at all to opt out of this.

Royal Mail made a profit of £758,000,000 last year so there is no need for the attacks on the workers' terms and conditions and no justification for the well below inflation pay offer. The company can afford it. Royal Mail have to run the universal coverage by law. If they don't then who will?
