Was at the Secret Garden Party last weekend and whilst there were many highlights for me (David Roddigan, Horace Andy, Skatallites etc) the outstanding highlight was the Jolly Boys.
Coming onstage we thought 'what the f**k' as some not very young Jamaicans came on stage to do a Mento set. The youngest is 71 increasing in age to 84! Ok, it was a perfectly sunny afternoon, we had had a few beers and some herb, but it was just brilliant. Their choices of songs were just madness (mento versions of new order, blondie, iggy pop etc, nobody could keep still and all you could see all around were smiling faces dancing in the sunshine. We were unable to even shut our eyes because unless you were actually watching it, it didn't seem real.
Highly recommended
