 Last week we mentioned the Melamatik Dub Day at Infirmary Fields in Bradford on 19 June – we’ve since heard that it has been cancelled.

Here’s the message from Dublab: “Hi Rob – Thanks for mentioning the MelaMatik dub day in your message – unfortunately someone got a little ahead of themselves with advertising it, and we have just found out the the council has not given us permission to use Infirmary Fields so sadly the event is not going ahead.”

Photographs by Phyllis Galembo

These are stunning – www.galembo.com/exhibitions.htm
‘Large-scale color photographs from 2005 to 2006 reflect the ritual adornment and spirituality of masquerade in Nigeria, Benin, Jamaica, Haiti, Mexico, Morooco and Burkina Faso in West Africa.’

 This week I have been mostly …

• enjoying getting me legs out, inna stereo shorts-stylee
• starting to reread Ulysses, and realising that Bloomsday is nearly here – see below 
• tasting some wonderful flavour-packed beers from the barrier-busting Thornbridge Brewery in Derbyshire, as part of their Jaipur tour at the Scarbrough in Leeds – Wild Swan, Lord Marples, Jaipur, Kipling, and of course the dynamite St Petersburg Imperial Russian Stout – why can’t Fannys – www.fannysalehouse.com – be like this?

 Bloomsday, 16 June
‘Bloomsday is a commemoration observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and relive the events in his novel Ulysses, all of which took place on the same day in Dublin in 1904. The name derives from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses. Thursday, 16 June 1904 was the date of Joyce’s first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, when they walked to the Dublin urban village of Ringsend.’
