Wow , what a great week of music this week (Blur on Friday, and Roots Manuva on Sunday).
After reading about The Alma St Fair in 'The Camden New Journal' , I was excited to read my main man Roots Manuva was to play!
I took the Mrs and Kids and they enjoyed sampling some Indian cuisine and making T Shirts, whilst I enjoyed hooking up with my old Kentish Town homeboy Paul and beautiful Georgian wife Tika).
There was a great local band who sounded a bit like Hot Chip, Jimmy Screech and The Main act Roots Manuva.
Jimmy Screech was great and mixed roots reggae with garage and dance hall beats, after a mellow toke I even did a bit of boggling, and will check the man out on CD (or torrentz , as is my want).
The crowd was well up for Roots Manuva, he didn't disappoint and ran through the Classics 'Witness' (One Hope), 'Dub Styles' and 'Dreamy Days' (I think!).
A great day was had by all, although it might become a victim of it's own success next year, 2500 came this year, any more and local residents may not be able to cope.
P.S. big up for Roots Manuva, and the dads running the craft fair - a Diss for Mr Hudson who was late and only played one song (shouldn't have bothered mate).
