Hope all is well folk, can anybody help out with info on music & club venues in the Peckham Area in 1960's, 70's & 80's, particularly ones playing soul, ska and reggae? ta. Craig

Hi folks, this is Craig here. I'm trying to find info on clubs and venues around Peckham area which played predominately soul, ska and reggae music in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Know there were places such as the Paradise Club and the Top Twenty, and I'm sure many others, but drawing a complete blank in finding further info. Any help or notes on a mis-spent youth is more than appreciated. If you'd like to mail anything you can get me on [email protected]. Ta.

big thanks for posts folks. Peckham 'Madhouse,' love it. Wondered if they'r was any way of getting in touch with Parkdrive?

Hi folks, This is Craig here. Trying to get in touch with anybody who was a pupil at the school in 1972 (I think). This is a fantastic story. Bob Marley was broke and couldn't afford his fare back to Jamaica. Stranded in London, he was persuaded to play a lunch time gig at the school, along with Johnny Nash. (some pics attached). He went back to Jamaica after and promptly became reggae's first international superstar! I run a ska and reggae night called Honey Hush at the Bussey and Peckham Peculiar has got in touch. They want to do a feature on the Bob Marley story and the club night and they'd love to interview anybody who was at the school gig. This is your chance for Peckham Peculiar stardom. Fingers crossed some ex-pupils are out there. ta Craig
