Dread Beat an' Blood

[Velouria]

I was looking at something else (Glastonbury related) that was coming up on the Community Channel, and noticed this programme which I figured might interest some of you Brixtonites (Brixtonians?) out there:

[broken link that was here removed]

Dread Beat an' Blood
Sat 28th Jul 8:00am - 8:50am 50 mins

Built around black Brixton based poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, the film addresses itself frankly to the problems of Britain's young urban black people.

Because of the time it's on, it should also be available to freeview viewers, as well as those on satellite/cable.

Community Channel is on Sky 539 • Virgin TV 233 • Freeview 87 (6-9am)

edit: ok it seems the link no longer works, stupid crap website, go to http://www.communitychannel.org and look it up yourself in the schedule for Sat 28th ;)

Cheers for this information ....

I rate LKJ massive time, but have never seen him live and have never seen this programme.

I'm at WOMAD this Saturday, but will make big efforts ;) to line up a DVD for this ... :cool:

WoW, go onto the community channel and check the schedule and you'll see it's repeated a million (well not quite ;)) times. Of course only a very few of those repeats are within the three hours that it has available on freeview ... :)
