NEWS
Obituary: Former ELAC stalwart Julian Farrow suffered a catastrophic burst ulcer and passed away 9th November in Spain. He was 66. He had just took out Spanish Citizenship after a lengthy period of administration which included him learning Spanish. Julian was, with Ted Eller instrumental in setting up the first festival in 1982 which was in walking distance to his home in Bethnal Green. Julian was a foster parent and after leaving his job with the local council and the CAMRA East London & City darts team he ran the Ship & Blue Ball in Shoreditch before moving on to, among other pubs, the Alexandra Hotel in Chatham. It was from his living room that the first East London & City Beer Guide to be produced on a computer was processed into a form we could sent to the printers. One Sunday I left the nine pin printer producing the pubs of EC! on continuous stationery to cycle home for lunch. On my return it was just finishing the 96 pubs. RIP.
