Rock and Real Ale

One of my other passions, apart from rock music, is real ale. So it's nice to report that a couple of races at today's Chepstow meeting are sponsored by Bath Ales, brewers of superb beers.
My tip runs in one of these, the 2.45. Presence Felt reminds me of one of Led Zeppelin's albums, Presence. Released in 1976, it is a tremendous album, with the cover causing a lot of speculation, as it featured images of everyday life, but in each photo was a "presence" - a black, obelisk shape, that no one knew what it was (apart from the designers, Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis, presumably... or maybe not)..
Not the best album cover in the world, but a bloody good album.
