Love this thread. Talk about Desert Island discs...
So Dennis Brown, NW London 1978. I was 14yo and Money in My Pocket had been re released and was HUGE. I remember the Youth Dance Saturday Night Gig. Everybody went and Im sure alot of them were over 18. It was the place to be. The music was new and exciting, reggae artists were breaking through and having a massive influence. The Clash, The Ruts and even The Police were all playing that bumpin' bass line. SKA and TwoTone bands were skankin' everywhere and I couldnt leave the house without stealing my brother's Crombie. One kid from the block, Wesley, did this really cool dance to Money In My Pocket while gracefully, twirling and bouncing a walking stick, which he never dropped or missed a beat. Rude boyz used to line the walls on the way to girls loo, it was impossible to get passed without being relentlessly teased and your bum squeezed. Unless you waited till late when Dennis or Gregory were played, bc then EVERYONE was on the dancefloor.
Aswad, from my old stomping ground. Around this time they started making a name for themselves too and everyone knew who Brindsley Forde was anyway bc he played on the Double Deckers...(I kid you not)! By the time the 80's came Aswad were very cool and a major part of the NW London SoundClash Scene i.e. Babylon movie.
A wonderful era for UK music and brilliantly my parents had me at the right time bc I was out there. Rock against Racism, the kids were united and Punks and Rastas ruled.
