You couldn’t just turn up, you had to know someone. At that time Small Heath had a large community of Irish and West Indians, who got along well, within all age groups. I’ve retained my love of Reggae ever since these days.

Post punk era, spent discovering different genres of music,especially funk, reggae, soul and blues. A great time to be young. Natty threads an all.
