Hello Friends,
After 9 long years, we're happy to announce that our forum is back online!
You'll notice the entire site has had a visual overhaul as well. The work is far from finished, but we hope you'll enjoy this new version.
Coming soon: artist biographies are being added (work in progress), the database will be updated, and we're paying special attention to making the mobile version more functional.
In the meantime, all features are operational and we've tried to give the search functions some extra love (though there's still plenty of work to get them exactly where we want them).
Feel free to revisit the old forum topics (with nostalgia or not) and help bring this place back to life!
Thanks as always for your support,
Seb

Re: Welcome Back To The Roots Archives Forum
Hi, couldn't remember my old user name and the reset password didn't work, so here I am as a noob...the DC stands for my Nom du Ska, "Desmond Cliffton", nothing to do with Washittington...anyhow, if any of you fine Jamaican vinyl collectors have radio shows or podcast/streaming shows you wish to share, you are welcome to post to this group: "Ska/Rocksteady Broadcasts & DJ Mixes".

(As the name suggests, please post whole shows of Golden Age Bluebeat, Ska, Rocksteady, Boss Reggae, etc...we don't really do 3rd Wave, Nu Tone or promote new bands and records but will happily recommend pages to post Dub and Dancehall...)
Big Ups and Rewind, Selectas!
