At the end of Sat, Joe talked about how much he appreciated the crowd coming, saying “We’re just trying to build an audience here..” – and this was something that was evident at St Ann’s, where the crowds were young, that Joe really was on a fresh mission, to represent the world’s roots musics to a new generation.. I guess this is why he made the effort to bring along Scratchy to dj the Mescaleros shows, and The Clash’s shows back in the day, too, because Scratchy is a natural roots DJ. From rockabilly to rock to dub to african and more, he puts it together in a way that defies boundaries and gives you a warm hopeful feeling inside. As with Joe.
Not forgetting Britain’s No.1 Deejay…
