Thanks all many reminders and a few newbies.


My reggae story - early 70s the older lads at school and mates older brothers all old school skinheads so an introduction via Ska...but then not really that much exposure (when I first heard the name Bob Marley i thought he'd be like Peter Frampton or Eric Clapton as it sounded a very english name!). A lot of reggae around during the punk thing but really I was exposed to dub reggae via blues party's in Leicster, where a really good mate went to uni and our incessant search for grass led us to some great blues parties - aways friendly despite us effectively looking like white football hooligans (wedges and Fred Perrys) - although of course we had to pay to get in and probably a bit extra for a can of lager. Loved reggae ever since


jah, one love

Too bloody commercial. Give me the roots stuff anyday. Studio One, Duke Reid, Bunny, Trojan, Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby, dub it up styleee....Bim!

For me, Dr A is the biz.


Also Poison Flour.


His album Best Dressed... was a classic back in the 70s (a non-stop favourite on our turntable then), but the CD re-issue includes a bunch of extra marvels and is really worth getting. If you buy just one reggae album, this should be the one.

Too right Jah. As in my previous comment: Dub. I rest my case.


I was never much into the Lovers Rock thing. But the roots and the dub...

I've got it. Was playing it at ear splitting volume last weekend. Get the Born For A Purpose album too. Wicked!

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
