Big shout to A Robbins for letting us know about the great Sunday Ska/Reggae/Rocksteady special this weekend in Deptford Fun City organised by the Soft Wax crew. Special selector this Sunday the one David Katz. It’s free to get in, runs from 6pm-11pm at The Duke, 125 Creek Road, Deptford SE8 3BU. There’s a record stall and good food, which sounds well up our street! Which gives us an excuse (we dont usually need one!) to fling up a couple of scorchers on this scorching afternoon!

A couple of good things to look forward to if you’re down the big smoke over the next few weeks. The great Dennis “Blackbeard” Bovell will be playing some tunes upstairs at The Ritzy Cinema, Brixton for nothing (how good is that!) as part of David Katz’ Dub Me Always on Wednesday 9th July. More details here at their Facebook page.
Before then as part of James Lavelle’s Meltdown on Sunday 22nd June there’s a free event down the Southbank called “Sunday Come Down” featuring Don Letts (Not Monty Don), James Lavelle and other top stuff as the day goes on. Let’s hope the weather keeps up. Here’s the line up cribbed from here. I’m sure it’ll change but it gives you clue what to expect. 12 noon – 1.30pm Don Letts 1.30pm – 2.30pm James Lavelle 2.30pm – 3pm Voicelab 3pm – 3.30pm JP Duncan 3.30pm – 4.15pm Jeremy Deller Acid Brass 4.15pm – 5.45pm Horsemeat Disco 5.45pm – 6.45pm James Priestley (Secretsundaze) 6.45pm – 7.15pm James Lavelle

This Saturday coming (June 14th) there’s a special screening of the Bunny Lee Film “I am the Gorgon” at the BFI, Southbank plus after a Q and A session with the director Diggory Kenrick and the narrator of the film and the legend that is Dennis Alcapone. There’s still a couple of tickets left for £6.50 here. I’m going and if I get a chance I’ll ask Dennis if he’s into gardening!
