Really enjoyed the documentary and all the other coverage BBC4 has been giving reggae and ska over the last couple of weeks. this friday there's a documentary on toots and the maytals- bbc4-9pm called 'reggae got soul'

 

gotta tip my hat to bbc4 their ongoing music "britannia" docu's have been well made ... enjoyed them all so far and of some genres (reggae and ska included) it's about time they were made!

good on ya bbc4 :sunny:

 

i'm going to have to get a television

them i'm going to have to move to britain

 

youtube loves bbc4 :mickey:

that is the first part of soul britannia, obviously, but keep an eye open for the reggae one, i'm sure it'll appear eventually

 

youtube doesn't love dialup

and frankly, i'd rather live in britain anyways

do they still have that rabies quarantine?

don't mind me, all i do is piss and moan - it makes me happy, i suppose . . .

 

lol that's fair enough man ... i dunno about the quarantine
