I occasionally see Don Letts DJ out- usually as a gig warm up, and he never seems to play anything you wouldn't expect him to. I don't have a great Reggae knowledge but he always seems to play tunes I recognise and ALWAYS plays a few Clash songs (excpected, i know).


Thinking about it, 6music seems quite under-represented when it comes to Reggae. Cerys and some of those others i mentioned (Coe, Robinson, Ravenscroft, Huey) occasionally play a tune or two, but surely there's scope for a late night show dedicated to reggae once a week.

This is spot on. Lauren Laverne's voice grates with me for some reason... like she's always got a blocked nose. And she tries a bit too hard at times. Tom Robinson is brilliant. John Cooper Clarke sounds like Saville which puts me off a bit.

    • Highly recommend Jeremiah from ShinyShine Cleaning who has just done another fantastic job on cleaning our windows, both inside and out. He has been doing our windows for years as he’s reliable,  hard working and a genuinely lovely guy.  Competitive prices too.  Jeremiah - 07947389406  
    • Even with this quote from the article? 'First and foremost, the music across its three days is curated with admirable care.'      
    • We’l be getting our annual building work done soon (roof ridge tiles redone and the chimney stacks repointed). Mrs Bob says she’ll liaise with the builders and that I should get out from the house so I don’t bother them with inanities. So I’ll be off camping to the Fort again for the Summer - June, July, August, whilst they get on with it. I’ll be in my Decathlon Arpenaz 4.1 fresh and black tent. I’ll have a campfire every Friday night like I usually do.
