Snubbed Return

More from the Sub TV vaults. In 1989 Snub found On U Sound legend Bim Sherman in the studio, a rare TV appearance with Bim singing Power in 1989 (not the smash hit single The Power by Snap). Crunchy Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc backing, Bonjo from African Head Charge on percussion, Sherwood at the desk and the golden vocals of Bim Sherman. 

In 1983 Singers & Players released their third album on On U, an all star reggae collective with members of Roots Radics and Dub Syndicate, Prince Far I, Mikey Dread, Ashanti Roy and on A Matter Of Time, Bim Sherman's voice. 

A Matter Of Time

In 1989 Barry Adamson was ex- Magazine and ex- Bad Seed and striking out solo with his Moss Side Story. Snub filmed on location in Moss Side, Manchester, with parts of the Moss Side Story album and some interview sections with Barry over the top. 


In non- Snub related news this weekend is The Golden Lion's 11th birthday. Joe Goddard played at the Todmorden pub last night and today David Holmes returns with a live set from Belfast's Deeply Armed on the running order too. Warming up before and around those two are The Flightpath Estate DJ team, all five of us in the house, with bags full of tunes and our standard attempt at sequencing them into some kind of coherent order.

I've really been enjoying this Snub series you've been doing. One of my favourite music programmes, that showed a lot I liked and still do.
Bim Sherman has one of my favourite reggae voices and what a line up.
I bought Moss Side Story after seeing that episode of Snub and still have the cassette.
