I was unsure when Is them on Jools Holland, but once you're there it's a great atmosphere and every night was great. Obviously not as good as it would have been back in the day but they were still great shows.

there's another reggae movie on the way, it will be spring/summer, probably have the vibe this is england had, the specials have some kind of input, should have a cracking sound track..

If this is the follow up to 'This Is England' that you refer to, then the filming is almost finished and it will be either a four or six part TV series with the possibility of being extended. I got an invite down to the set to interview some of those involved the other week as they were filming not far from me (in Sheffield to be accurate) but I couldn't make it as my real job got in the way

dub pistols, gangster's, featuring terry hall, intresting version, from a band that can go from 2 tone to hip hop, and still remain very good, i'm not big on hip hop, but i like these guys take on it...

I have never really liked the Dub Pistols and that doesn't sound a whole lot different to the original apart from replacing some instruments with electronica. Disappointing.
