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.

Not me. Parkdrive went to Peckham Manor School and I think you'll find there is a thread about it lurking somewhere in The Lounge.

I went to Tulse Hill. We had Muhammed Ali come and visit us in '74. Unfortunately, I missed it as I'd already walked out telling the headmaster he could shove his school up his arse. I never went back.

After that - He probably didn't want you back.....

    • You've conflated a major incident with LTNs?  That's machavallian.  I'm impressed 😵‍💫 At the Finches fire last week there were a lot of emergency vehicles  Including the SPG.  But no cops with weapons (I used to work near where the SPG were stationed).  When there are major incidents police from other boroughs are called in with such vehicles.  I can't remember the name of the vehicles bringing cops in.    
    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays.
