Sir David Rodigan on Meeting Bob Marley, Jamaican Radio and Soundclash
May, 2012, London, UK
At 15 years old, David Rodigan started DJing at school dances and youth clubs – and in his early ’60s, he still doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Whether it’s juggling priceless dubplates, collecting soundboy scalps on the clash circuit, or edutaining generations of revellers worldwide with his legendary sets and speeches, the ‘Gentleman Rudeboy’ is a true reggae rocker for life.
In a 2012 public interview with DJ Benji B in the VIP room of London's infamous club, Fabric, Rodigan reflected on his first trip to Kingston, meeting Bob Marley, playing on the radio in Jamaica, and much more.
