🗓️ 28th December is the anniversary of the Tay Bridge Disaster, a tragedy which overshadows another on the same day 27 years later. In 1906 a wintry tragedy at Elliot Junction caused 22 deaths and 24 injuries when safety and control broke down in a blizzard 🚂🚃

Evening. Here's my latest Dubstack if you've not seen it yet
My latest Dubstack offering is here. This time I've dug out a discarded track (and a new dub) from my thwarted Trojam project from 2011, and I've taken a look at how Uptown Top Ranking by Althea & Donna came about. Read/download here... rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-37...
Chapter 37: Dub Is All I Bring
In which I look back on the UK's second best number 1, and share a bit of love.

The algorithms are making it a lot harder to spread the word about these online talks. Although numbers are still reasonable, it would be a great help if folk were able to give the 30 December event a quick share 🙂
