      He actually visited NZ a couple of years ago but in his dub poet capacity.

      Funny also that Blair Peach has been in the news recently too.

      Street 66 would be in my top all time 5 songs.

      More surprises Sprout!

   great stuff. Think he performed in Ch-Ch in 2005 (’04?), with Dennis Bovell to boot. Gonna long regret not travelling up to see that…

      Like beats from mi selector Dennis Bovell weren’t worth the 20 bones, aye.
