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.

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.

    • uninsured, not to worry just walk away and someone else will deal with it....
    • They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.
    • Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)? 
    • OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
