RIP U Roy. A massive influence in the Reggae world.

A big loss to music: he wasn't the first toaster but he was the most influential - a true trendsetter

This all cause a few older Albions fans to wince a bit

Such sad news to wake up too this morning. He’s one of my favourite artists who I was lucky enough to interview back stage at The Komedia in 2017. He could see I was a bit nervous & couldn’t have been any nicer. Gave me all the time I needed & seemed genuinely interested in what we were doing. Such a nice guy & a true loss.

Another great artiste I discovered courtesy of late-night John Peel in the '80s

I saw him perform at the Essential Music Festival at Stanmer Park year's ago. I remember buying his LP Dread ina Babylon as if it was yesterday. The first track - Runaway Girl, is a classic. That bit of drumming and straight off in to the Reggae beat. Yet another great leaves us.
