Pace on Earth

Could You Be Loved

With all of the ex-pats home for their summer visits the pressure for mid-week fun is very high. That being the case, visits to reggae nights at the taproom have been weekly events recently. The house band,Dub Antenna, is a full roots reggae band with a full horn section and put on a great show week in week out. We are a little spoiled. Our buddy Dave Wells spins great reggae tunes between sets. It all just makes sense in the sweat of summer.

This was reinforced this week when I was listening to Bob Mersereau discuss the best summer music out there on the radio. It wasn't long before someone said reggae and everyone agreed that reggae was great summer music. Everyone loves summer and everyone loves reggae. I remember being in London for rugby a few years back and finding myself alone (and hungover - thanks North)in London 3 days after the tournament. I made my way to Covent Garden and sat down in front of an amazing Marley cover band and they played Legend from start to finish. Nary a soul walked by without stopping to smile and bob their heads. From beggars to bankers, tourists to wankers, everyone loves reggae. Me too!

Dub Antenna played this song the other night but, for Flashback Friday, here is the original, in all it's glory:


Pace out.
