The Notting Hill riots take place as black youth clash with police at the Notting Hill Carnival in England. The event inspires the Clash to write "White Riot" as a call for white people to protest with the same furor.

Just received my copy of THERE AND BLACK AGAIN, the biography of @lettsdon, Grammy award winning filmmaker, rock star, dj, radio broadcaster, social commentator, husband and father - among many other lives. With #malpeachy, published by @omnibuspress. Truly honoured to have this photo of #donletts included in this wonderful book.

Just realised we forgot to post about our January session - this was a co-promotion with our pals at the Walthamstow Rock’n’Roll Book Club in which we welcomed the mighty Don Letts to the Trades Hall to read from his book ‘There And Black Again’, answer questions from the audience, and entertain everyone with a killer DJ set. Big up Don! Welcome back anytime
