We visited #Hackney Town hall on Thursday for some interactive theatre - George Orwell’s 1984. Very thought provoking.
It’s where, at the tender age of 5, I was picked up by the coach to take me to my first day of school. I was so excited but looked back at my mum in tears! That was 56 years ago!

Meeting #strangercole back in 2014 was a piece of #ska & #reggae history for me. Full of energy on stage I was surprised to hear recently that he jetted off to Japan shortly afterwards and then back to Jamaica. Now that’s rough & tough #morelife

Looking forward to another visit to #australia in April. Last time I dropped a few #ska & #reggae 7” #vinyl in Rosie Campbell’s, #Sydney with Johnny Wineberg. Great food & drinks so I may need to revisit. Also visiting #Adelaide #melbourne #cairns

It was great to meet Toney Owens at #skamouth, great chats. Toney was the man responsible for changing the lyrics of the Mighty Diamonds song which Musical Youth covered, to avoid drug references. Pass the Kutchie was a huge hit in 1982, no.1 in UK, Canada, Australia & US. It’s being reworked by him

I love warming up the audience prior to the bands coming on stage. The bands might not be able to see you but they can hear you. This is from my DJing at #O2glasgow with #thedualers loved it!
#O2london next!

These 3 albums were played over and over in my teens and early 20s back in early 80s, it’s time to lay down the #vinyl #punk again. Catch me in a few hours! 😀

A superb gig on Sunday night from PENETRATION, so tight going through their Moving Targets album, onto their singles and an encore of new material. I first saw them in 79 for their farewell gig in Camden, London. Seen them a couple of times since their reunion but this gig was perfect!
