With this excellent new feature meaning the Digi GamesMaster subtitles could actually be shown over the GM picture if found, I thought I’d check the dates we need: 1/11/94 8/11/94 15/11/94 22/11/94 29/11/94 6/11/94 13/11/94 20/12/94 3/1/95 10/1/95 Specifically recordings of GM on those dates.

For some reason I've updated sub-TV for the first time in 20 years (and that is not an exaggeration) - I've brought it into the 21st Century by converting it to Node, but you'll be pleased to know I've not changed the turn-of-the-century aesthetic. Videos are inline now! www.sub-tv.co.uk

To be fair, I’ve heard some terrible jazz that might have required a police presence in my time.
Newspaper clipping. 

CORRECTION: In yesterday's

paper in Chris Searle's jazz

albums column, we incor-

rectly referred to Don Rendell

as a "terrorist" when it clearly

should have been "tenorist." We

apologise for any offence.
