blutarsky Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I bought a Specials T shirt for £2 in a charity shop yesterday. Which got me thinking, what’s their best song? Stupid Marriage for me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I'd like to select something less obvious but in all honesty I can't get past Ghost Town. Not just the song, but crucially says so much about the era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Saw The Wailers last night, OK I know they're not 'The Wailers' anymore, but the songs still have a special place for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 So. Koffee on El Pointo then. That'll be fun. Presumably v. early doors, second on after the opening crowd-pleaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcshed Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 So Silver Hayes has announced Firmly Rooted a soundsystem culture stage presumably replacing the Gully/Blues hybrid of 2019. The only dub I can see is Channel One Soundsystem, Dubkasm and Bliss Zion b2b Sasha Steppa. Am I missing anyone else on the poster there are plenty of names I'm not familiar with?

bamber Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Ziggy * is playing Paradiso in Amsterdam - a tribute to his dad, on the Wednesday and Thursday after Glastonbury. I'm seriously contemplating going to this. As it is so close, I wonder if this might also happen at the festival?* * Seen Brixton dates above now. Glastonbury shaped hole on the Saturday or Friday perhaps? Edited April 23, 2022 by bamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamber Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 So much trouble in the world. Again, it is easy to forget the Reggae greats we have lost over the past few years. Like Robbie Shakespeare for instance The Master at Work, late in life, The best to ever do it. Robbie always moved his lips in time with the bass.
