Catherine Ireland… Love them
Pete Fisher… Probably would have been down the youth club back then (can’t remember which one) dancing to quite a few ska hits with my mate and his mod/turning skinhead friends…weird and pretty sad that such a cool fashion/music scene morphed into the hooligan thing…played on the same festival bill as the Skatalites a few times in the 2000s, so got to see them live at last…
Mick O’Dowd… Such a good band. Underated. Saw them on Pier on an all-nighter. Fab! Still going today.
Alan Pepper… Wow ! Love to have been there . Wonder how many witnessed this gig ?
Chris Wilson… I was there. The College also had the Skatalites at a Christmas gig held in the restaurant area at the college, probably Xmas 1967. Both gigs were amazing, hot, sweaty, great. I saw them at Concord 2 in Brighton about a year or so ago too. Brilliant band even though most of the surviving members must be in their 70s/80s!!
Colin Bell… I have written many times over the years in my columns & reviews how i could never get into Ska/Reggae, but i have a soft spot for The Skatelites & their ‘Guns of Navarone’ single it brings back fond memories of when i first became a DJ in 1968
Mick O’Dowd… Fantastic band and still touring the world today. Saw them on the Pier.
