I 56 on Sunday...and I thought I was pushing- it. Good to here you still have a voice. I was brought a VESPA PX125 ( last birrhday).... it's ' bog- standard ' in enamel- white.....scratched to buggary. I had to do a CBT test.....etc.etc. so I am ( sort- of ) playing with me past. It's nice on a sunny day...down here in Faversham. I go sent a book "Scooter- Boys" by Gareth Brown.. I ain't blowing me own trumpet...cos I am in my own club. but i love the KZfaq. and folk like yourself.. it's a great book to read.... all - the- best- to you my friend. X. i thought to myself ...should i read your comment and then read others to . Cheers to you .......... love Royster. X.

I hear ya mate!! I also lived in a shite town in the North East, I also lived on a shite street, in a shite house with a cunt father who was always pissed and angry because of the mine closures. I also had mother who was angry at her children because of my dads bullshit ways and his zero zest or hope in life anymore. I fucking hated where I grew up. I hated the school. I hated the area. Everybody was so fucking miserable because there were nee jobs, there was nee money, nee hope, nee nowt. But when Friday night came around, everybody was oot and partying and forgetting, but come Monday it was all doom & gloom again. Then the Indie seen hit late 80's and early 90's - bosh!! Everybody was oot from Friday to the following Friday on their magic smarties. Good times!!

The Skinhead Symphony in Three Movements recorded as part of a 3 track session for the John Peel show on 15/10/79, including Rude Boys Outa Jail and Rat Race. As close to capturing the atmosphere and buzz of a live performance as there will ever be. So much so, that even The General was convinced it was a live recording when he djed in Coventry on 18/10/19 at Drapers bar, where he played a reggae and ska set. Earlier he had played a "library music" set at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum for Liverpool electronic-pop girl trio, Stealing Sheep, a show which paid tribute to electronic music pioneer, Coventry-born, Delia Derbyshire.
