Took my boy to see Jimmy last night, next to Mr Marley one of my Ska/Reggae heroes, such energy and such great songs, my ears are still ringing, think my skanking days might be numbered though  |

I once had the pleasure of popping down to the basement of a venue to grab something and bumping into Rico Rodriguez down there - he was warming up in private by playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It was glorious! |

I've seen Rico in concert many times. Mostly playing with bands like Bad Manners or other little known ska bands. Love his music. I bumped into him once in London and he was very friendly.
Jimmy Cliffe is also a favourite. But the best I have seen from that era are Desmond Decker, sadly missed, or Toots Hibert. As mentioned it is definitely the sound if summer. |

"Love him.do you have dates for his tour. "
Not sure if he's touring, This was in Ipswich.
He's 66 but sounds just like he did when he started out and he was leaping about the stage like a teenager, brilliant, band was really tight too. |
