Growing up in the 70's who remembers, Moss Side Youth Club, Birley (YC), Hideaway (YC), Carmooor Rd (YC), Old Trafford (YC), Whally Range (YC) and Longsight (YC)? Who remembers, these sounds, Yabby's, Baron, Upsetters, Cosmic, Youthman Promotion, Shorti Downbeat (excuse the spelling), Gemini, Tribesman, Phase One and Killawatt? Who remembers, the frontline on the corner of Broadfield Rd and Moss Lane? Who remembers, the Mayflower Club in Gorton where many of the great reggae artist's performed? Who remembers, when the Carnival was the Carnival, not like now! If you remember all the above, it was exciting times in the Community. When Baron played out of town, Moss Side, Whally Range, Longsight and OT would all come together and represent Manchester! The mindset of the Community changed when the reggae and soul music went from culture and love to Drugs and Guns, I wonder why?
@@antonymorris1038 All the sounds I mentioned were formed in schools or Youth Clubs. This was are way of us waring with each other by having an sound clash! The good thing about that generation, the focus was not to kill each other, that's why we can have reunions. Oh I Megatone.
@@washingtongarden4078 Music reflects the society...as Jamaica became more influenced by drugs and guns, the music reflected that. The wider processes were occurring in Manchester, Bristol, Brooklyn, Toronto, Texas, Spanish Town, Miami. I think the influx of drugs and guns was definitely socially engineered in a lot of cases, particularly in America and it trickled down.
No mention of The Reno, The Nile and The Shamrock?? Only Whyte people remember these venues in a nostalgic way when I've spoke to them. These were hubs/hot spots in M/S where people went to dance and everyone enjoyed themselves. The Reno was just next to the West wood St between Mosslane and Princess Rd and the R.O.A.B was just a stone throw across the car park from the West Wood St centre with a bar and dance floor and that's where you heard all the music we now call ' Old Skool' R&B it was rocking there. People lived for M/S nightlife from the late 1970s upto 90s, they slept during the day (weekends). Not saying incidents didn't occassion you mind who's toes you stepped on it was like that-say no more. As for HQ being a former church, apparently it was covern where rituals took place. HQ was supposed to be an education centre, to teach the yutes. I grew up between M/S and Hulme and neighbours let you in, people let you in their homes they're not cagey and all I remember as a child is the sun shining and good music vibes. It's the only local community that knows how to social in comparison to anywhere else and feel acceptance. You can only think positive when you visit. If ever you get fed-up and venture there you forget your problems, you can't go them sides and think miserable and there's a lot of friendly people and SUCCESSFUL and working class people who don't pay attention to incidents, it's not all about what the media dictates. You can't trouble M/S I agree that the problems enter from the outside and M/S retaliates because you can see how the community is big on coming together for social activity. That must be maintained because as I said previously, M/S is loosing their social hubs gradually and where is there to go after they've gone because you can see building materials dumped right next to West Wood St to suggest that their is planning in place to build in that area, they're being subtle about it by easing in the big boulders so watch out for that. If you disagree with anything said here then comment don't delete facts and stay blessed.
My father came here during WWII, so Jamaicans did fight during the war, went home and returned to build up England, as the male population was depleted after the war. They were treated like crap, no Irish, no dogs, no blacks, in the order
Political systems during the 70s and 80s systematically set out to demasculate the men, it was more profitable for women to live on their own (more money). Men struggled to get jobs so did what they had to do, not all but some just left the women to raise the children. On the other side of that coin some, but not all women made it hard for men to be good fathers.
the war is factual ,its not really, this war that they saying going on between Russia and Ukraine is not real its not happening, you all need to either study politics or read up about it before you all can give an input, and what she said its untrue
