In those days you could step on a man's toes and apologise. Sadly them days are well and truly gone. I used to go dance regular. Trafalgar Rd, Woodstock Rd and Lime Grove and many, many more. I also remember the shooting in Balsall Heath, my friend, Chrissie Smith got killed, but that was a one off incident, albeit a tragic one.
I'm from the same neck of the woods as you and I can remember and enjoying going to blues parties late sixties but mainly in Balsall Heath before the bulldozers moved in. I too can remember that shooting incidence and agree with you that it was indeed tragic but the tragedy goes a bit further than a life lost. The guy that did the shooting was a hard working Irishman who, when he first complained, was told to f*ck off. The next day he complained again and was given the same directive but with a threat of violence. He returned the next night after three or four nights of sleep depravation and suddenly became infamous. He was originally arrested and remanded on a murder charge but this was later dropped to manslaughter under diminished responsibilities (the sleep depravation).He was a regular hard working man with no previous and got a two year stretch. Whilst there are some folk (like myself - white) outside of the of Jamaican culture that embrace it and participate in it, there are others like that gunman that prefer a show band and Guinness at the Irish center for a few hours at the weekend after a hard weeks slog. Not everyone is into loud reggae and ganja for days on end. The biggest tragedy in that incidence was the death of someone but also tragic that a regular working guy ends up doing something like this. There was also a big authoritarian tragedy in place before the sound system had even been set up that fateful night, one of them being the complete disregard of the sound system element of Jamaican culture (I have attended a wake in a small Jamaican village where the speakers were set up either side of the road) and the other being, allowing alcohol to be freely bought from licensed premises such as shops, pubs, venues etc. and weed being a big no no under any circumstances. A situation I find completely incomprehensible considering the negative effects upon society of both these substances.
@RealityCheck 2010 Always used to be frightened when I was in Lime Grove in case it caught fire. The place was made of pure old wood and had only one exit.

Well, a nuh lie ima tell..! In my hometown back then, a baby christening whould take place on a Sunday, reason enough to have a blues party, which would continue till at least Wednesday. If it was a run down council estate, probabilities were it would last the whole week.
@@needeep610don't believe that. Who have time for a party on a Monday or Tuesday. That must have been a white or mixed race couple party. It definately wasnt London or Birmingham. You must live in some hick village or town near Scotland
I see you Skippa , drop me your digits if you read this because I still have a bone to pick with you and something still needs settling with regards to a misinformed judgement that you still perceive to believe 🤔 and I still need to PROVE you wrong and require an apology🙄
Back then i grew up in a christian home, where we went to church and blues party was not a good place to be, because of it's sinful nature. I left church, and went to a few blues parties, and witnessed for myself that it was of the dark side, where man would get cut up over gal, ganja would be sold and bun, and man clothes just stink up a smoke. No other culture in the world exists where a man would rub up with a woman in a blues, then both leave for a one night stand.! Looking back today, we should all ask the question as a nation, were we lead by the spirit of truth, or the spirit of error?
What utter rubbish, how is listening to lovers rock and tunes like bob marley@ one love, Dennis brown @ hold on to what you got@ sugar minott good thing going ... of the dark side? The only dark thing about scenarios that people found them self in was jobless or oppressed because of institutional rascism and other.... You need to wake up! Artists were singing of love, light and truth, so ask yourself if you say what you say in error? then you go on to say that no other place in the world that blah blah blah and have a one night stand🙄👀 why don’t you go to Ibiza, Brazil, Uk clubs, Germany and other.... there are plenty of everyday clubs that people go to and do this, even more so now, you need to research more, Many of the artists sang about Godliness, the MostHigh, and everyone felt irie, and blessed, why don’t you go around certain parish churches and ask certain ones to stop robbing the poor black people, and mocking certain elements, this could’ve seen as dark, especially when certain pastors are doing some disgusting stuff to their audiences, and begging for money like they are a celebrity with razzmatazz and big Benz and private jets and big houses.
@@nonowner3400 Caught your attention! I was painting a picture with a very broad brush. Yes, I personally witnessed the dark side, and I could elaborate further, but not here. You are also right with your description of present day Churchianity, of which I have no part of. You are also right again, in pointing out that other nations are doing the same, but the truth is, we shouldn't have been doing it. (Idolatry) Our ancestors left Jerusalem in 70 A.D, because Messiah prophesied it (Matt 24:15-22; Mar 13:14; Luk 19:43; Luk 21:20 Dan 9:27.) They went into Africa out of the jurisdiction of the Romans. There they stayed until the Catholic Popes sent Europeans to search for their descendants after studying the scriptures. They found them in west Africa, enslaved and carried them away to the New World (Transatlantic slave trade) where they were given a False religion and strange gods-the spirit of error. Don't believe what we were taught in school about Salvador Fernandes Zarco, better known as Christopher Columbus. Are you interested in knowing about the spirit of truth?
Nee Deep hi I know exactly what you are talking about, and many Rastafarians and awakened black people taught many, listening to music about the twelve tribes of Israel is not so dark, being taught about Moses in music isn’t so dark, not eating pork that yall eat that was said to have certain ting cast in it isn’t so dark, being taught about the Nazarene in music just like hymns in church, isn’t so dark, still not really dark, rastaman taught most of yall or helped give yall light of Africa or Israel, so again not so dark, go to the church and teach them about the Israelites because from what I gather they don’t even know who they are , neither know themselves which is darkness and living in the dark, if you want to talk about dark,
Nee Deep each one teaches one , and we learn about many elements every day, you ask me if I would like to know about the spirit of truth? Would you like too?
Could not go anywhere else because we were not welcomed. So blues, carnival, and home parties was all we had back then. Good ole days

He was originally arrested and remanded on a murder charge but this was later dropped to manslaughter under diminished responsibilities (the sleep depravation).He was a regular hard working man with no previous and got a two year stretch.
Whilst there are some folk (like myself - white) outside of the of Jamaican culture that embrace it and participate in it, there are others like that gunman that prefer a show band and Guinness at the Irish center for a few hours at the weekend after a hard weeks slog.
