got this video of We the ragamuffin on that link

How representative is We the Ragamuffin of Peckham?
The whole film was shot on location in Peckham, but the Ragamuffin culture -the current version of reggae at the time - was inspired by Jamaica. If you listen to the music, you can hear all kinds of beats that hearken back to Africa. But the artists featured in the film developed a distinctive crossover style, like Mikey General who sings the main song. It's a uniquely British black Carribean–inspired music scene.

Fat Whites interviewed about Peckham:

What's your favourite thing about the area?
Our favourite thing about the area is that half of the year Frank's Bar is closed.

Where should people check out?
The Windmill, Rock Steady Eddies, Turk Avesi, Codfellas and of course our temple of pure thrust, The Queen's Head, 144 Stockwell Road. Avoid Brixton Village at all costs

going for that anti-gentrification dollar - that's a big market, they're very smart

I heard Foxton's are thinking of entering it in a big way soon once the bubble bursts.

Heh. They do look exactly like one of the 'look at the hipsters' photos people put up here for a good old sneer tbh.

Fat Whites interviewed about Peckham:

The Windmill in Brixton, Rock Steady Eddies in Camberwell, Turk Avesi - dunno, Queens Head in Stockwell / Brixton.

Codfellas is the only one in Peckham, and that's on Bellend Rd, though not a recent arrival.

a lot of those interviews recommend places outside of Peckham - fact is there isnt really anything in peckham (apart from hype)

 

[ska invita]

Eddy from Rock Steady Eddies is a joker though

Never been in, but I like to picture him as an elderly Teddy Boy.

It starts with the hype....

he was a boxer...or wrestler...i think boxer...big bloke to put it mildly! forced a "big boys breakfast" (not on the menu) on me - one of everything on it, ended up costing £7 but you cant argue with him hope he's still there

Deptford is next.
I went to a Boiler Room type thing called Trailer TV last night, which is a rave in a truck trailer behind the big red bus. DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn playing ultrafast footwork and evil acid

 

[ddraig]

Lorry.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, this is a truck trailer.
I never think of lorries having trailers. Just trucks.

You're talking rubbish as usual, OU!

It's a shipping container.

 

[Orang Utan]

I thought that before I went in but i was convinced otherwise

 

[Onket]

Shipping trailers can and do go on the back of lorries, so I understand your confusion.

 

[Orang Utan]

Fuck you, I can call it what I want. It's an English word and I'll use it.

 

[JTG]

Leave him Onket, he aint worth it!
