Warms my heart to see true skins jamming with a legend. I was fortunate enough to meet the Skatalites in NYC in 1990. They played like teenagers, but were apologizing for having shaky hands and bad eyesight when they were giving us their autographs 😄

Now we’re talking…I remember my Jamaican parents playing their 7” records back in the day with that beautiful ska beat and them doing these dances moves and later in the 80’s I became a Mod
I ain't even a skin or in any od the adjacent scenes except for punk, my interest in the scene has been recent, but theres something that warms my heart about seeing the trad and sharp scenes living their life independent of bones and the stigma they brought from the rest of the world seeing only the bones.
Ah, the wonderful Mr. Symarip, Roy Ellis. I had the privilege and honour of doing sound for him at a skinhead reunion gig in Brighton. A consummate professional, one of those rare artists who just has the audience eating out of the palm of his hand by the end of the first number. I love gigs by these old ska and rocksteady troopers. The best I ever saw was Desmond Decker.. not much over five feet tall, dressed in a red leather pimp’s suit (including fedora!). He worked the room into an absolute frenzy. So glad I got to see him before he passed 🙂❤️
I saw Desmond Dekker in Norwich in around 1971 I would guess (I was thirteen then). He had a white suit on, standing in a black circle, and he knelt down at one point, got up with a black knee! Loved these artists and still do.
There were lots of black skins too ,I know coz I was one of em ,Norf and west London had a proper firm of mixed skins in the late 60s and 70s ,loved the Trojan music ,me tonic suites,Ruperts trousers ,Harringtons , Crombies ,nice to see the gear still there cost me a fortune for the gear now ,don't wear the Dms anymore ,but the loafers Prince of Wales suits and Harringtons I still wear . Brighton and Camden London got some proper shops down there it ain't cheap though .love the fashion . Willesden and stonebridge firms from the 60s through to the 80s still bump into each other now and then and have a little drink up . Met someone from the old LGS ,aka ladbroke grove skins from back at the day met him at a mates retirement do got chatting coz we were both wearing similar gear .Turned out we knew a lot of people from back in the day .So yeah great days then .oi
I'm with you bredren, I'm a 66 year old man from Liverpool, originally a skinhead, then a mod and to this day I wear oxblood tassel loafers, prince of Wales suits with Ben Sherman shirt and Crombie overcoat, I have seen Marvin in 76 in Liverpool, and I go to as many concerts as I can..keep the faith. We are the chosen ones
yeah i'm a afc fan I was introduced to ska music by my friends in hackney long before the idiot Nazis took on the image we were one loving the music all races all colours
I remember attending my first ska show! Nothing but good vibes! Wrapping arms with a complete stranger, dancing just feeling the vibe of the music! Crazy how I remember this after 20 years!
Oh wow! This is so cool to see Symarip still niceing up the place. °*°*°* Used to have your LP back in 1986. Even then it was a re-issue, I believe. Keep doing your thing man, making people happy. (#.^)
This is quality. As a 1979 Mod seeing todays comedy mod brigade 'dancing' to Secret Affair this is a breath of fresh air. Ladies and gentlemen, I take my hat off to you. This is absolutely brilliant.
I was in the 2nd wave of skins and living in DC. Played for a band called Iron Cross in 81-83. Had a great crew. We still keep in touch all these years later.
My Guru blessed me with living through the reconciliation of the Skinheads,Mods and Dreads as a teenager..WHAT AN ERA..WHAT ENERGY..it was very SPECIAL AND WE CAN THANK THE NATIONAL FRONT FOR THAT...WE OWE A LOT TO THE NATIONAL FRONT..no enemies..just players in the play
This is a great video , I'm not a skinhead never was, but grew up in the 70s with all the violence around the skinhead scene ...this proves that skinhead culture is real and it is a music and fashion based scene not a neo nazi far right violence and racist movement ..well done guys great gear and dancing .
i was a late 70s skinhead that was all I knew it was about was neo nazi, I didn't even know what it all really meant, I was caught up in all the bull shit to be honest. despite all that,it was the best years of my life being 15 and care free days
This is today they're wannabe retro fashionistas from University. Real skins were from council estates and gangs fact. They were bad news. The American skins were white supremisists the Brits not really but definitely pro white and Australian skins were something of their own. The skins listened to oi music more than ska that was more the rudies.
Incredible how this sub culture has survived. Too young for the originals but I was a punk late 70s and lots of my mates were skinheads. They got me into ska and I got some of them into punk. Great days, music & vibe.
Hi! Peter Sampson. It look like amaze concert Roy Ellis aka Mr. Symarip. I got to see two Skinhead girls at Underground east of London, UK close where I was staying. It look everybody is having lots of fun there.
I'm more into my punk, hardcore etc but I've got total respect for everyone in this video. I've known a few Trojan Skins over the years & liked pretty much all of them.
It is funny but I still remember all of those interesting times that me and my mates used to put on our boots , whilst none of us had doc Martens we did have some kinda el cheap combat boots ... at any rate , ok so we would get out and do all sorts of shenanigans and what not . Sometimes I really miss my shinegengans I mean shening ing gangues or whatever the term is ... oh well thx for allowing my input on your vids ... really nice and all of that stuff and oh yeah , hey I did finally get some of the better boots , not quite the dieter Martens but very close .... ok that is it ... thx again . ( for the comment and everything you know ) ..... thx..
Brother THERE are literally thousands of us out there!!!!! We are LEGION!!!!! RUDE BWOYS RUDE GIRLS This train is bound for rainbow city,,,,ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to the California regularly back in the 70's. Plenty of Luton skins there to see some of the best Tamla & Soul artistes to ever grace a stage. A few beers in The Windsock pub before heading up to The Devil's Den. Often walked back to Stopsley without a penny in my pocket! Happy days!
sorry for the google translator, thank you very much for this and 2 other entries, every time I find a different man/doll there and I regret that I wasn't there punks not dead
Don't know what it is about skingirls ,checks,short skirts, DMs , feathered haircuts ,minimal make up ,gives them a kind of strong sexy beauty, livelong and prosper.
Its the outward display of submission. The hair and clothes signify submission to the group and its values. That is what's needed for raising children in a tribalistic setting. Part of your brain remembers that.

To think when I was 14yrs old,now 61yr old woman had the very same hair cut as the girls in video,love it. OMG!
The English have continually had such cool movements. From Teds. To Mods, to skins to punks, etc. From an admiring very old Yank
You mean they borrow the moves and moves from Jamaica, Ska belongs to Jamaica.

This is brilliant to see.. Youth dancing to Ska. Great to see :)
Lovely to see this taken place all dancing away .so happy .Thank you. Well done to everyone .Thank you.
There's something heartwarming about seeing people enjoying themselves, no matter, or from where - humans are fucking ace.

He is forest gump of the skin heads haha

This is so joyous. I’d have loved to be there. 🥰
Me too.👍
We should never see skin color. This is so pure and beautiful.
I grew up with ska, and it's great to see folk enjoying it still
