America?

PUNKY REGGAE PARTY
An original 6 Music documentary
 

This three-part documentary series chronicles the unlikely yet fruitful 
relationship between punk rock and reggae.

In late 1976 Rastaman Don Letts was asked to DJ at the Roxy club in Covent 
Garden between live sets from punk bands such as The Clash and Generation X. 
As there were few punk records available his playist also featured tracks 
from his own dub and reggae collection. 

The Clash went onto cover reggae songs and turn their audience onto the 
music, punk and reggae bands appeared on the same bills and this crucial 
Jamaican music found a new audience all over the country. 

Hear the story brought to life by recollections and anecdotes from key 
players such as Paul Simonon and Mick Jones of The Clash, Don Letts, Viv 
Albertine of The Slits, reggae artists Mikey Dread and Brinsley Forde and 
presenter Tom Robinson who witnessed this unique musical exchange first-hand.
