It’s another August Bank Holiday-which means only one thing in West London-The Notting Hill Carnival….
In the early eighties I was lucky enough to be sharing a studio on the top floor of a large house on the corner of All Saints Road- Carnival time, we use to sit on the roof an listen to Reggae/Dub an Rockabilly!
-if I’m around I usually check out the ‘Channel One’ system, or ‘Gaz’s Rockin Blues’…. …boom boom boom!
