Don Letts shares his rich musical journey, starting from his childhood in Brixton, where he experienced a blend of Jamaican and British music. He reflects on the cultural impact of radio and television on music consumption, the profound influence of The Beatles, and his personal connection with Bob Marley. Letts also discusses the rise of reggae in the UK, the intersection of punk and reggae, and a memorable concert - seeing The Who at the Old Vic Theatre.
Don also tells us how he ended up on stage with Patti Smith at the Hammersmith Odeon, spent time with Bob Marley & how he came to DJ & film at the first punk venue - The Roxy in Covent Garden.
