OT - UB40 In Concert 1981

[haze_harrison]

I've had an up and down opinion of Richard Skinner, although I think that's more my problem than his.

By a strange coincidence the FRS that I'm working on at the moment is presented by RS because TV was "stuck in a plane over Europe"

I'm just sorting out where these files are going (ADrive probably) and then normal FRS service will be resumed.....

Soemone could oblige and we could put a link on the Reggae section. And there we go a good reason to be broard church in Peel related material as I wouldn't have the opportunity to point people towards that if this session hadn't appeared...

Never got Kid Jensen but others of you may well have - although I am still afetr that elusive DollyMixture session he put out in 83ish.
