Likewise. My copy just arrived (took a couple of days longer to get here as the postman had to finish his spliff first) - Ghetto of the City is playing as I type.

Hiney: NSC hero of the month - owe you big time mate.

What he said. It's had two plays here already. Great stuff.

Thanks again Hiney.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread Hiney. Did anyone go to the Culture gig at the Komedia a few weeks ago? Joe Hills son on vocals now the old man has passed on.

I used to go to loads of Reggae stuff in Brighton and in LOndon, I remember one of the bands at the Top Rank, it might have been culture but I don't think so, who were stage struck at seeing a nearly an all white audience. When you went to London, it was mainly punks and rasta's. The smell of ganga at those gigs were quite amazing.

I gave up in the end when I went to Nottingham, the mixing of races in the early 80's socially was non existant. I was literally the only white lad in the audience and unfortunately there was always just one gang who wanted to ruin my night.

are black Uhuru still going

Saw Black Uhuru and the Abyssinians last night - cracking night out.

Michael Rose's voice is still pretty good at 50. Duckie Simpson looked like he was about to fall asleep on a few occasions, and seemed to pop off for a toilet break every other song, but he never missed a note even though he must be about 100 by now (at least he looks it, but maybe that's the effect of a lifetime of ganja...).

The Abyssinians were impressively spritely too, considering the three of them must have a combined age of 200...

Where was th Uhuru gig? Will have to see if they are playing elsewhere.
This has inspired me to get the vinyl out and am currently recalling PushPush from Sensemilla. The 'stickiest' bass line ever from Mr Shakespeare and one of the reasons my middle lad is called Robbie.

It was in Eindhoven -- don't know if they're playing anywhere in the UK.

They did play Push Push, although Sly & Robbie aren't involved any more of course...

Indeed, and I know Puma Jones has been dead for a while.

I gather they played the Jazz Cafe in Camden in early November. My gig radar isn't what it used to be.

I was. It was er, a trifle tense.

God, this thread has brought back some memories.
