MITH #8 - UPSETTER SPECIAL

Cloak and Dagger Style - an Upsetter Special. I can't think of anyone that has made a greater contribution to reggae music. In his mid 80's now he is still recording prolifically, touring, inspiring new generations of musicians and artists with his maverick genius and wonder works. Earlier this year I found a message on my phone from the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, asking if I'd be interested in coming to DJ for a concert they were putting on featuring Lee Perry. In October last year! Can you believe that?! Modern technology or bumbling incompetence on my part - I could have spent an evening playing some tunes and supporting The Upsetter himself. Gutted doesn't come close.

Going through my records for this episode I realise I need to do more than one, so watch out for another in the future. The man is an absolute treasure, and this is my humble tribute to him. Music like showah...
