    I met Don at a Lee Scratch Perry concert in Leicester around 10 years ago. We went outside to smoke and the cheeky boy smoked most of my Marlboros. Then I met him again at Alexandra Palace where he was doing a DJ set. He's a top man as well as a legend in both Reggae/Dub but in the Punk scene. Respect.

    Is there an on line radio station which plays this dub or roots music that someone can recommend ? I’m probably as old as Don but in the middle of nowhere between 2 large towns both 15 miles in either direction of which neither have anything interesting on the air. ❤️🏴👍

    The Clash ?
    It has always confused me to hear the Clash referenced when drawing a line between punk and reggae.
    Of course there is a line but its a bit of a thin frayed sort of line compared to the bold, strident and purposeful one that joins up the Ruts with reggae.
    The Ruts for me were more punk and played far better sounding, more varied and more heartfelt reggae .

    True ......music is a saviour ....one has to search out the true originals though. Don't believe Don has heart for "dubstep" .....it's too cold machine like..unless he tries to "get with it" for his son...... Hardly any cool 70's dub here , but this lousy sleep inducing dubstep. Shame on you Letts .
    Seems more a case of "Stuporsonic" 👍🥺 dad giving his son's career a step up.....
    Bytheway....after Letts left ,B A D became bad very fucking fast "bad" as in "lousy" ......
