@@AnthonyBrightlyBLACKSLATE hi Anthony, apologies for my ignorance. I grew up watching you guys from your 1st appearance on totp. I'm shocked that there are so many original members. Your sons voice is brilliant BTW, thats why I made the comment,
This reminds of me and the boys playing football in Handsworth, Birmingham early 80's. The Specials, UB40, Bob Marley, Steel pulse - amazing memory and great friendships.
Sin duda alguna, es una preciosa canción del recuerdo que.nos regaló Blac Slate, nunca dejaremos de ver el vídeo, y escuchar en altos. decibeles, gracias Blac Slate
I'm 63 . How did that happen?? this song reminds me of Folkestone UK my home town. I live in Nova Scotia now but how did I get old? This song is still the best
I've always loved Black Slate from the first time hearing them as a teenager back in the 80s and I the first two albums, Amigo and Sirens in the City! Wish I could get copies now! The voice of Keith Drummond is amazing! So happy to be seeing this live performance now, 2024! If only they recorded it on LP 😢
