Hi people,

We have just returned from Jamaica with the memories of Calabash seared into our consciousness.
I was hoping that their would be numerous youtube videos but apart from the amazing 'me vexed' [a performance I had missed, ] I cannot locate any.
In particular I would d be grateful if their were any footage/recordings of the final days two minute slots.
The one I would love to see was the 'johny to bad' based prose delivered with powerful conviction by I think one of the sunday best hessian dressed rasta men who based themselves to the right of the stage.

Memo to the organisers who must have recorded the festival , how about making available an audio\video product of the 'two minute slots'?

We have one or two pics which if computer issues get fixed We will be posting.

Thanks to the amazingly drilled jack sprat/jake staff who made the event run smoothly, it wouldnt have been as well organised in England!


Steve.
