Off to The Shacklewell Arms to see Adult DVD - probably safer posting the band name on here than Twitter but we’ll soon find out

Funny that I signed up here after Twitter/X got a bit much but then I found here was mostly people complaining about what people were posting over there and I ended up posting far less on both - which is progress - I think

Fair to middling … be nice when the rain stops … you?

At least Gallagher and Sarr both try and drive forward

Only two bar staff in Mother Kelly’s N17 on a match-day isn’t ideal - will revert to True Craft next time - only ended up here as it looked too wet to get off the train at Hackney Downs

Oh good, it’s raining - we could do with some rain

The Guide is saddened to hear of the passing of beer writer Des de Moor.

He was generous in sharing his extensive knowledge of the London beer scene and it was always a pleasure to cross paths and compare notes.

RIP Des, the next beer is for you 🍻

If the Wilderness Porter is still on cask it’s excellent - but I may have drank it all last night

Scotch Broth is an excellent idea … as is Underworld

Enjoyed chest, Blackgold and Coach Party today - halfway through English Teacher and I’m bored - they’re clearly accomplished musicians but I’m getting the same β€˜so what’ feeling I got with Black Country New Road #RockawayBeach

Any good festival is about seeing bands you wouldn’t normally go and see and Blackgold were brilliant - and I didn’t even like Nu Metal the first time round … #RockawayBeach

GANS got on my nerves - trying to get a circle pit going when you’ve barely played a song in a 30 minute set - lasted 15 minutes and went for a wander
