from there to my local pub for a weekly reggae night. learning curve and very enjoyable . then came club jamaica , played with and met some great people in them years. edge of the wedge i did monthly also at that time for nearly 4 years . club jamaica came and went for a little while .  gigs all over portsmouth with lion paw sound along with gleem a local singer/mc . we had all played together over the years alot . 10 years seem to go quick a box full of specials / dubplates  . playing out of portmouth seemed to be next little
