Craig here folks, would love to find out more about the sound systems which tore it up aroud Peckham in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Wondering, has anybody got info on the Sound systems below? Look forwrd to hearing from you.

Tiffany?s Hi-Fi with the Velvet Touch (Lewisham)

T-W-J (Lewisham)

Moziah (Lewisham)

The Mighty Enforcers (Lewisham lovers rock)

Jah Man (Lewisham / Peckham)

Admiral Ken of Peckham (Bouncing Bell host)

Papa Viking Sound (Peckham)

His Imperial Gorgon Hi-Fi (Peckham)

The Mighty Sounds of Black Scorpion (Peckham/Dulwich)

Jah Revelation the Placid Rocker (Dulwich)

The Mighty Revolutionaries - South-East A1 Sound (Deptford)

Jah Ceaser (Deptford)

Rootsman Hi-Fi (Deptford)

In the 70s 80s my pals and I were aware of Jah Shaka playing at Blues parties around Peckham but we were too scared to go. I wish we had.


I was at a party in Forest Hill in 79 and some chaps arrived in a lorry with Jah Shaka's sound system. The speakers were taller than a wardrobe, they put them up in the hallway and nearly blew the house down.

this is great folks, keep 'em coming. Really keen to hear as many stories as possible as I want to get this stuff up on Peckham Soul blog I'm starting. This is important social history! If anybody wants to email me directly on [email protected], I'd love to hear from you.

    • 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. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works. 
    • Yes, I saw an incident van too, earlier, around 3.30 - never seen one before. It did look as if it was on its way to something major.
