IF YOU MISS IT - YOU MISS OUT




I hope that all of you who celebrated, enjoyed your Fathers Day.

Father's day was certainly memorable not only for my own father, but also for other members of our family.

It was also the day that my niece celebrated her First Communion, which was held in Brentwood Cathedral. It was a lovely event followed by a garden party. The weather even managed to stay nice.


On this day, my father celebrated with his three children from his first marriage, one of his three children from his second marriage, five of his six grandchildren and his only great grandson. What a line up!

Also in attendance were four generations of my sister's inlaws, as well as many fathers new and old.

We also managed to witness the 'fly-by' held in commemoration of twenty five years since the end of the Falklands War, which also served in some way as an honour to all the fathers present.
For me the day was rounded off by experiencing some fathers, grandfathers and perhaps even great-grandfathers of reggae.

I was invited to attend the "Icons of Reggae" concert at the Brixton Academy.

For all of you that know your reggae, in the house were John Holt, Ken Boothe, Gregory Issacs, and Jimmy London.

They performed some of the old favourites such as "Night Nurse", "I Want A Love That Is Real", "Mr Bojangles" and "That's The Way Nature Planned It".

It was mentioned that Ken Boothe started his recording career in 1960, a true veteran!

The vibes were great, whistles blowing, people jamming, the Academy was 'ram'.

There were so many locked and natural 'heads' of all sizes and colours, that I did not know where to look!

I will not mention how long it has been since I last attended a concert, however, my only disappointment was that it was over all too soon!
