When the suns out, I get out and play SKA!
I’m a musician and a DJ. I just love performing and have been in some fantastic bands. When I haven’t got an outlet to do this I’ll take old Ska music onto the streets.
Dalston Kingsland and Ridley Rd Mkt has a strong Jamaican community and they love their music, and playing ska reggae is always welcome, even the station master puts in requests “007” being his favourite so I love going down there.
It’s actually risky playing anything else, A few years ago I was hanging out in Gillett Sq, it was sunny and a polish drinker in a ski jacket and red cheeks asked if I could play Bryan Adams Summer Of ‘69, so I got on YouTube and started the track. After the second chorus the man was happy, sipping his tin of beer, but then a local Jamaican came up and warned me that if I didn’t change the music there would be trouble.
Sharkey and Major dancing in the square
and here is a link to a mixcloud mix I did to represent the occasion
I also wrote, created and mixed a music track about these days, it’s called Live It Up!
That’s all for the moment, I look forward to the next post
😁
Awesome!
