We had a bloody amazing night at the Market House on Friday. It can be a tough gig, but we had a great crowd all night. Great to see some urbanites there too!

Friday 26th August 2016, DJ night at Offline Club, Upstairs at Market House, 443 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, London SW9, with DJs playing ska, electro, dance, reggae, drum and bass, indie, punk, rock'n'roll and party tunes

Sounds good - though doubtless the price will be well over £4?

Curious about Mary Jane looked it up on Ratebeer and found it's reasonably well reviewed, and brewed in Ilkley.

In my student days we used to constantly sing this "On Ilkley Moor Baht'at" ditty on folk nights in pubs. There is now a Yorkshire Tourist board multi-cast video: (warning - Brian Blessed rapping, and Lesley Garrett doing her coloratura soprano number)

I think I was paying something around £4.20, which could be worse.

Mary Jane is v nice indeed. Starting to see it a lot. It's in loads of places in Leeds and also seen it at the Rake in Borough Market.

I like the sound of that Arbor though - beer with lime zest - interesting.
