PUBS in Warrington got a much-needed spending boost on Monday as thirsty customers were allowed indoors for the first time this year, new figures suggest. Banking firm Revolut analysed the data of its 4,000 customers in Warrington and found that drinkers knocked back around 99 pints per minute at their peak on reopening day. The biggest spenders in the area were man aged between 35 and 44, though Revolut said its customers tend to be slightly younger than the national average. Warrington customers shelled out less per round than others across the country – spending £11.86 per transaction, compared to the average of £12.86 across Britain. Though one punter did spend a whopping £210.58 in just one purchase in a pub or restaurant.
Nick Page obituary Robin Denselow
Nick Page, who has died aged 60 of cancer, was a musician, producer, composer, bandleader and one of the most inventive, enthusiastic exponents of the British global fusion scene.
As co-founder in 1990 of the musical collective Transglobal Underground, blending live and programmed music with influences from Asia, Jamaica, and Africa, Nick set out, he said, “to attract an audience who wanted to dance – but not to techno”.
Also known as Count Dubulah, or simply Dubulah, he produced or performed with an array of experimental bands, mixing contemporary styles with influences from around the world. He told me he had worked on “about 250 albums and singles”, and that his aim was to “constantly surprise”. In 2008 he launched Dub Colossus, a bravely original band that mixed Ethiopian styles (and musicians) with dub and reggae. Further projects involved reworking and updating music from the Middle East and Greece.
