Last week I lost my good friend Penny Reel. He was a brilliant writer, and affable and entertaining encyclopedia of reggae, music, literature and youth culture, and for 20 years was my musical record collecting mentor. There are some links to his writing in the NME etc on the Hackney thread.
He was a one of a kind. Tribute to Penny Reel
