Watched Reggae Brittania http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/seasons/reggaebritannia/ last night which was really good and brought back plenty of memories. So here is Reggae Memory number 1.
Friend Adrian and I had just left school, and got tickets to see Bob Marley at Manchester Hard Rock in 1975 http://www.thirdfield.com/new/tours.html. It was the big breakthrough tour, on which No Woman No Cry was recorded. The place was packed, a real event for the West Indian community; with two white public school boys in the middle of it all. It felt just like a gig should feel, but so often doesn't; something really special.
The photo is another from Sheffield.
