Barry G is still amazed by Rodigan’s devotion to the history of reggae and his willingness to learn the history and origin of a song.“He makes it his duty to experience it; he has mastered it.
Jamaica, its people and its culture still elude and bemuse the most earnest of wannabes. David Rodigan is no wannabe. As far as Jamaicans are concerned, he’s not only on the inside, he’s ranking. Come down, selector!

@***** Yeah, cant say its guaranteed, but to me it sounds like the Jamaican pronunciation of wilder i.e. wiler dan a cracadile.
Those days were funtastic werent they. Iv got carrier bags of TDK SA180 cassettes of that 70s 80s stuff. I used to press play&record both sides, just before leaving for the Railway Hotel Wealdstone Reggae Club.
What age are you?
Regards,
Paul.

David Rodigan's impact on Jamaican Reggae Music is Fantastic. Between 1979-2012 on Capitol Radio's Roots Rockers Show is Immense. 'Nuff Said.

In 1981 I was visiting my Uncle in Lewisham and I heard Rodigan on the radio playing some Sugar Minott about 20 a dem , the wickedest tunes I ever heard on radio in my life...... could not sleep ...

Saturday nights on Capital, you had David Rodigan. Sunday afternoons between 1 and 3 on BBC Radio London you had Tony Williams. Thing is, these shows came only once a week, and as a black youth growing up in London I wanted my regular reggae fix. Radio 1 in those days wasn't catering for us, whence the rise of the local pirate stations; KISS, Horizon, LWR, etc. This is memories.
