My daddy youthie/chemist he was the best💔 in the kitchen dancing that was literally him😂 thank you for uploading this I haven’t heard his voice for 26 and a half years 😭😭😭I appreciate you so much

The police was the problem creating the the troubles

Michael showers was a two faced gangster who flooded his black commmunity with heroin. Got them all addicted and absolutely destroyed the area! Only interested in making money for himself!

Looks like Sandringham road blues in Hackney underneath the greengrocers that sold a lot of green😂back in the day at the start.

Gloucester had blues parties most weeks in Council houses and flats which i started attending aged around 18/19 in 1985/6 era and loved them, no trouble hardly ever inna di dance and I was often the only white guy there and loved the music and cool fashion that went along with it, not like the commercial night clubs where there were weekly fights and too much booze , good times in the ganja filled blues party scene and with a bath filled with cold water to keep the cans of Special Brew, Red Stripe, Heineken etc lager for sale nice. n cold and we all got along better back then and I was always made welcome there!

There is actually another rare video footage of Nitty Gritty live on stage floating around where he is singing Hog in a Minty.

The days when London was full of corrugated Iron….. I miss those days

10 Benson for under a quid.

1:025 - no drop your pants

Best documentary ever 🙏🏾

I notice white people did the majority of the talking in this video. Why was that ? I lived in Toxteth, all my life. I was born in 88, the year this video was made. Has anything changed from bk then ? Not really. The rates of high unemployment for black ppl in Toxteth are still astronomically high. There is ZERO investment in Toxteth. No banks, no building societies. Apart from bookmakers, major chains don't set up shop in Toxteth. I've always said blk ppl in Toxteth don't commit enough crime. We are incredibly crime free and upstanding group of people, which is amazing considering Toxteth is an area that's set up for people to commit crime Toxteth is a stone's throw away from the city centre (or town as ppl call it) The only time you see black ppl working in the city centre is if they're cleaners, bouncers or young African boys riding bikes delivering food for white people and even blk ppl working in town are usually not from Toxteth, or they are often not blk Liverpudlians. But basically, Black people in Liverpool are an underpass. It is, what it is Toxteth has been gentrified, they clean up a row of houses, make em look real nice and move white ppl in, lotta student live here as it's close to the park, a lot of people tell me that the many listed building in Toxteth would cost a bomb to rent in London. Toxteth is a very nice looking area in a lotta parts. And to show what the council thinks of blk ppl, well Sefton park is round the corner from Toxteth, but Doctors and managers and engineers live there. I know I've presented a grim view of blk ppl in Toxteth. But like Delroy Burris (RIP) I don't sugar coat sh*t. But I still love living here and would never move out.

How dud.u enter inside upstairs the old pub

Good to see this was there at time just seen a bro Steve known as Davo

L8 I love and at that time was all political it was not racism within community only coming from political stance every one lived happily in this are but was raged up in media

Loved this video of L8 from years ago bring back memory no longer

What happened to the Gregory pub..

Amazing video 🌟does anyone know the name of this tv show?

He has to be joking when he said he can smoke a pound and still drive

I was delivering parcels in L8 in 2020 and it’s by far the toughest part in Liverpool, giant rats in the street rubbish everywhere, hoses with constant water running into the street as it was summer an kids where setting up paddling pools in the middle of the road with no front gardens, the people where so rude when I’d knock on the door to deliver there parcels it seemed like nobody was at work during the day it was bad I know because I’ve worked in every area in lpool

Thanks for collecting all these great videos. I was a 15yr old punk when I first went to a blues party in Brighton. Changed my life forever, I started going to all of them and because I had a good connect for ganga I became quite popular 😅 after a couple of years I'd progressed to DJing and soon after started building my own sound system as acid house hit the scene. I spent the next 15+ years putting on some of the biggest underground acid house parties in Brighton, even getting arrested multiple times, but I always got my rig back from the Babylon 😉💪 Good times ❤

Shut em down

What ever race everything runs play useable 20 or less years...yes cousin loved of Ur tunes or rubadub

Yes all most blues next things were raves. Some Jamaican s are responsible for there make big up. Yes lots of furniture out the a k yard bring Ur own booze and ever on the priTe radio station......big movement..then..

Now, clever clods talking about housing in empty spare rooms to save the high 4-star hotel costs, which again will not solve the problem. WHY ARE THEY BRING IN THESE PEOPLE IN THE FIST PLACE? WHAT ARE THEY REALLY UP TO???

What are these politicians think they doing. It's not only the British people getting mad bc they can't get a job but as the man also stated they want a job. They bringing in all these people hoping to get a better life, which is also in some way understandable, but jobs have gone with all the automation. Now demands fir jobs and homes will be getting more demanding which means more rioting.

Michael Showers, a community leader my ass, he was pumping smack into it

I thought it funny when the cameraman hadn’t even unpack his kit when he was told in no uncertain terms not to film, without requesting permission, first. My, my… how things have changed.

was willie haggart really in the dance

Is this somewhere in America or Africa?

It's a fact, Pakistani Asians do NOT like African Caribbeans

Top class material....

Really good far away late

Really good far away late

Back when they didn’t put there accent on to sound like London road men

What a load of shit

First time seeing them so early in the dancehall.

Love this 🇯🇲🔥

I don’t agree with people rioting black people rioting does not do their cause any good if you come back to the Tottenham riots it’s was mainly black people looting again and a lot people lost their businesses

Good footage racist still alive in the UK 🇬🇧 it’s just hidden behind close doors

I did live in Dalston with a Jamaican girlfriend & the Blues or shebeens as they where known would be held in peoples empty houses, sometimes semi derelicts or at the club called The Four Aces ! which I remember or thought it was called the Bronx ? only black people allowed in, I was allowed was dressed to the nines by my well known club owner girlfriend whos cousins were all the Black Yardies, I would be dressed in Italian shoes , Italian tailored fitted dresses, with a real white fur jacket Expensive, the stairs would be lined with rastas with huge donkey dicks of weed buds. It was a real wonderful scene, the police never came near the place, no reason, the voodoo freaked them, for myself they were empowering times hanging with my Jamaican girl in her world.

Everyone seems happy.

Uplifting to see people enjoy themself

I blwe 3 speakers lisyening to Nityb
