I used to work in a Pisa restraint in the mid eighties ,I lived on sycamore ave and use cycle home with a a16” pizza on my bike cycling up spencer place stopping off to feed the ladies …it was amazing they were always so kind to me and the guys always were cool….I love chappi ❤💚✌️
Wooooiiii a wah deh! Bk inna di days mi di deh.... best times of my life pon frontline chapeltown wid all of di old school rasta generals
Lived in Chapeltown as a baby and got moved to Meanwood with a few Jamaican families. There was some great kids from Chapeltown, hard working and a good laugh, played football on the top fields with them ever summer in the 80s. Great times.
Some on this video didn't do themselves any favours, saying you can smoke a pound and still drive is idiotic.
The good people of my home city leeds 💙❤
Trust me they all say the unemployed don't want to work. Shit I've applied for about 10 jobs in the past week and haven't been offered one interview
Yes, even stupid jobs, like stockin shelfs in a supermarkets is hard to get!
@@callyodmedia2 trust me
Behave there is plenty of jobs out there
big up mr ling aka brixton, on the mic with prento in the blues party. rip my blood, passed 2004, missed to this day
Love old docs amazing
great documentary , wish it was longer.
Taj curry house is still there! same guy working there too.
A no go area of leeds that as children we were told never to go there as we would be mugged or robbed. Massive drugs problems and the Hayfield pub had to be demolished because of all the drug dealing and gun crimes.
You should have been taught the Golden Rule instead.
Usual gaslighting
Great video!
Great content, thanks for sharing Saffron.
Even the most deprived areas with property boarded up, the streets were clean with no litter or weeds. 30 odd years ago it looked like people took pride in their immediate surroundings. Go to any big UK city now and the streets are littered and untidy. When i was at school 80s-90s there was little racism and was multicultural. The only prejudice was between Muslim and Sikh pupils that only years later found out the hate. There was banter, nothing offensive between peach or brown pupils and if someone fell out it was because they were a nob. My kids are brown, they would think im mad if id say that they are black but my eldest says he's peach coloured
anyone got any leads for recordings/releases out of John Knowle's recording studio? would love to hear some - can't find owt on discogs
Big up saffron
Hi Saffron, My father was Mikey Dread, he was a radio presenter for Radio Aire (shown 12:23 onwards). Do you have more footage of this, please?
Hi Carmeletta - unfortunately this is the full video - your father was a well-known and respected man - I drove passed him once in Bristol back in the late 1990s.......if I find anything else with Mikey Dread I'll let you know !

Hi Saffron. Can I contact you? I am researcher from Uni of Leeds looking into the cultural impact of Sound-system culture. Some of your footage looks really interesting.
Hi - private message me
There certainly was a cultural impact.i hope u will include big American cities like Philadelphia in your research there's positives and negatives in that culture.
@@komododrag5232 I am mainly concerned with British sound systems. Although I have read about sound systems in the US, Europe and Japan.
@@saffronsaffron4848 could you message me? I'm not sure how to do it.
@@alldubbedout3027 do you have an email address or something?
