Love this my uncles doing the drums ❤️

Very Cool. Loved him ❤🧡

How is he doing?

Great class drummer!!!!

Harrington?

[@alastairwest5200]

What an awesome era of attitude, class and musical skill...Privileged to have been born in '69, young enough to enjoy it and old enough to remember it...

[@tantilizingtrip1]

Soo original and full of good vibes

[@pateris]

Those were great times for music, not that much for the rest, yuppies times and all that bollocks…

[@AndyB677Aegyptus]

What a privilege to have parents born in the 40s who bought me up with music from the 60s and 70s

[@danielhughes4005]

@@AndyB677Aegyptus spot on. One of the joys of being part of Generation X.

[@Rich_P_Anya]

@@pateris Amen. At that time you were seeing the roots of every problem we have today with industry and propaganda, but music was still advancing.

[@highlander72b69]

I was born in uk in 72 ....just old enough to catch the SKA revolution in the late 70s and early 80s......loved it......

R.I.P Gaps...One of the most memorable tunes of my youth...Long gone!.. Pogo in heaven!

[@raymondpage4574]

Yeah RIP Gaps 🙏 Skatastic sound, suits, and scenes 😎

[@Idcanymore510]

Gaps gone!? I didn't know that. That just leaves Madness as the only 2nd wave Ska band that hasn't lost a member, if I'm not wrong.

[@markcancellara]

Give the organ player a medal 🏅 for blowing my mind the last 40 years

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Why does this seem so much more real and dynamic than todays music . I wish I could put my finger on it. I'm probably getting old . That's aĺl. 😢

[@heathcornbeef]

Kia Ora hello from Aotearoa new zealand. Yip ya getting old but this music never gets old. When i go to gigs now (Punkrock/Ska/ Reggae) that's all I'm interested in musically i do the wall dance lean back against the wall and skank in my head that way i can still walk back to the car afterwards. I've had multiple operations on my spine left leg hip and shoulders (hit by a drunk driver in 1987) who ran a red light and slammed into my motorbike 😠😡🤬

[@rodhmu]

I am hearing this now, for the first time in around 40 years. It sounds even better now than back then. I love the dancing, the music is fresh, crisp, and melodic. Its worth remembering that having mixed race bands was not the done thing back then. The 2 Tone scene in Coventry were pioneers in this.

[@julianphilp]

Because today's music is rubbish lol

[@heathcornbeef]

@@julianphilp fair call although we have a great Ska reggae and punk scene here in Aotearoa new zealand that this 54 year old STINKY GERIATRIC punkrocker really likes

Pauline. Not a single person man or woman will dress sharper than this icon fact ♥️♥️♥️

[@vwgti3414]

80's music was so diverse..best era ever.

[@ajs41]

This was from 1979.

1979 then it went pear shape in the 80's.

[@jean-mariejm7404]

Sure . 80s forever

[@aharz1]

Just watching Pauline Black being interviewed on TV concerning Coventry winning the 'city of culture'. What an eloquent, warm and beautiful woman she is.

[@DrWhom]

Coming up England by a different line For once, early in the cold new year, We stopped, and, watching men with number plates Sprint down the platform to familiar gates, "Why, Coventry!" I exclaimed. "I was born here."

[@ajs41]

I'm reading her autobiography at the moment. Fascinating stuff.

[@elisam.2896]

She was just on Breakfast and she's still as eloquent, warm and beautiful as ever.

[@betteroffdead]

Educated, too.

[@stephencampbell2115]

I just purchased Dance Craze on blu ray and she is such a force of nature.... outstanding

[@MrMusicbyMartin]

While the punks were ‘incorporating’ reggae styles, these guys and the Specials were doing it the other way around. I was 12 when this came out, loved it then and great to hear it now - especially that shift between the sweet island melody of the verses into the utter meltdown of the chorus - ‘he’s just a simple show . . . . On my radio!’

[@sab8850]

i think the lyrics are: It's just the same old show .. on my radio ! , but still , love the way you describe it!

[@HiYannick]

I heard this on a playlist my father had in his car. Sold at the moment I heard it

[@MrMusicbyMartin]

@@HiYannick I first heard it On My Radio!

[@GamerKristoff]

Uhh this is not reggae this music genre they’re playing is actually SKA

[@MrMusicbyMartin]

@@GamerKristoff Oh, isn’t ska a form of reggae then?

[@itsallaconsparrowcy6251]

Odd how these awesome songs pop up in our heads spontaneously?

[@honiideslysses12]

What great positive energy; So manic and fun. It was such a fleeting moment in our cultural history when differences were not simply set aside but mutually felt which formed a kinship bond, thus the Two Tone movement was born. Something this epic needs to happen again!

[@andrew80s]

What a great description - totally agree!

[@mikeg3950]

Check out The Interrupters. They are carrying the torch!

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Great music of it's time. Pauline Black was on Sunday Brunch today. What an artist.

[@aholaxzar]

the man on the drums is my great great uncle

[@luiszuluaga6575]

And he’s awesome!

[@MrMarkhall1]

It's hard not to like this song,it's so upbeat.

[@paulhewitt5404]

Warched these guys last night in Leamington Spa...absolutely brilliant from start to finish, the sound and performance was greater than I'd expected , top night👍

[@chrispbacon3716]

You lucky fucker!!

[@lawrencefeldman7744]

Wowww !

[@Cestrian64]

One of those songs that reminds you why you love music so much. Perfect.

[@rodhmu]

1979... Ska music. Brilliant, loved it

[@valentincudric3423]

Completely forgot the song, not having heard it for 40 years or so. Some commercial on Romanian TV used the tune. I remembered it, but had to use Sound hound to get a memory flashback. Awesome!

[@richardmorton4762]

I wasn't onto this stuff at the time . But looking back now, It really is a happy bouncy tune and cheers me up no end 👍

[@pateris]

Same here mate !

[@cyberbehrens3575]

Time will do that.

[@pablocamposmora3277]

My girlfriend is sad I don't like to go to any place to dance to modern music, all commercial stuff damages my ears and brain. Maybe it's much asking, for a pub to have this music on tune, I would happily dance to masterpieces like this one, already do it at home but would be nice to socialize dancing to this, I'm sure you get the feeling of union, happiness, freedom... I see many things evolving but particularly music, it seems it is evolving backwards. I feel good for all of you who could experience this live.

[@JBigjake]

RIP Gaps

[@robotgoose225]

Got asked by Aitch to play guitar a few years ago, but I am fiercely loyal to what I'm working on at any one time. Rehearsals clashed with a gig so I had to decline. Then none of the rest of the band turned up.... so I did the gig (a 40min slot at a local festival) by myself and a drummer from another band. Not one of my better decisions... 😅
