Talking of my wonderful daughter, she’s now raised over £1200 in just a couple of days. Should you be able to add to this she’d be extremely grateful.
My lovely daughter is walking the Camino de Santiago, solo, in memory of her friend Juliette who died so tragically from meningitis earlier in the year. All money raised will go to the Meningitis Research Foundation. Should you be able to help she, and Juliette’s family, would be immensely grateful.
Highly recommended!

Really sad news, hearing that the mighty Steve Barrow has passed. Partnered the Daddy Kool shops in the 70’s and compiled 100’s of essential sets. When he co-founded Blood & Fire in 1993, he transformed the reggae music business, making sure those players got their due. A knowledgeable, kind soul
