CDROM - RockBase Plus

RCS sent packing by baggage handlers

A disappointing turn-out resulted in RCS meeting the luggage-lugging lard-arses with only thirteen men. After borrowing two players we went out to face the incredible mass of the opposition. Their size and power was telling, particularly in the forwards, but we fought well and, thanks to our superior speed and

Fellwanderers

Last weekend the Fellwanderers left dreary London behind as we shot up the M1 to Derbyshire. Our Youth Hostel was in the village of Hathersage, just below Stanage Edge. Clear skies on Saturday morning meant that it was a shorts day for most of us, even though there was frost

Nu Yorican Soul - Nu Yorican Soul

When I picked this up I didn’t know what I would be presented with, but the word soul really intrigued me. What I got was really quite simply brilliant. An album that refuses to be pigeon-holed, I attempted to fit it to some sort of musical category salsa, latin,
