<br />
Legends of Ska is a documentary film focusing on the sights & sounds of Jamaica during the early 1960s. As the precursor to Reggae, Ska is a mix of Jazz, R&B, and many other styles of music, which continued to make a huge impact far from the island's shores.<br />
<br />
The idea for this project was born ten years ago, right after conducting a radio interview with the first star of Ska, Derrick Morgan. It went very well and I said to the show's intern "When is someone going to make a movie about the music we love?" That was my "light bulb" moment and it has been shining brightly ever since.<br />
<br />
At that time, everyone was captivated by the Buena Vista Social Club, right before Ken Burns' documentary series, Jazz, debuted on PBS. Inspired by those projects, I decided to produce and film the largest vintage ska show ever. I was fortunate to raise enough money to present the Legends of Ska concerts in Toronto over a long weekend during the summer of 2002. The review in the Jamaica Gleaner was outstanding and the event was named "Concert of the Year" by Now Toronto.<br />
<br />
Back then, I thought reuniting the greatest collection of original Jamaican Ska singers & musicians was going to be the hardest part of this process, but it turned out to be the easiest. Raising the money to complete this project through traditional means has not worked out, that is why I am turning to you.<br />
<br />
Currently, all principal photography has been completed and the film is in post-production. All the money raised from Kickstarter will go directly towards completing the film. Our priority is to finish editing the film by late summer, then hit the film festival circuit. The funding will also cover the sound mix, High Definition transfers & MARKETING.<br />
<br />
The more money raised, the more songs we can use in the finished film.<br />
<br />
Over all these years, I remained motivated by the many positive responses I regularly received from Ska fans in Jamaica, England, Japan, France, Argentina, Germany, America, Brazil, Russia, Canada, Sweden, Mexico, Italy & China. One of the trailers on YouTube has well over 150,000 hits. <br />
<br />
Whether you are a passionate fan of Jamaican music & culture or a curious observer who loves film & the feeling of sand between your toes, please come forward. This is the last major genre of Jamaican music that needs its story to be told.<br />
<br />
The film clip on this page is one of many. Please visit the Legends of Ska web site for more trailers, photos and information.<br />

Once you have had a look at The Kickstarter page Please look for the GREEN button on the right that says "BACK THIS PROJECT." <b>Anything you can give is greatly appreciated.</b> All the swag offered as Backer Rewards is very enticing, especially the grand prize. If you wish to forgo any of the material rewards, please indicate.<br />
<br />
In August of 2012, the independent nation of Jamaica will turn 50 years young. My goal is to complete the film this year and be ready for release next year, so we can all celebrate the island's musical heritage together.<br />

</b></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div id="mainBodyArea"><div><b>It would be hard for a pop fan of almost any listening preference in this </b><br />
<b>country not to have been touched, in some way, by Jamaica’s irresistible </b><br />
<b>rhythms. Everyone from second-generation West Indian expats, through to </b><br />
<b>skinheads, punks, and clubbers on the contemporary R&B scene has fallen </b><br />
<b>under their spell. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Its cast list includes not only countless famous artists from within the UK’s </b><br />
<b>immigrant community, but also the likes of Paul Weller, Jerry Dammers from </b><br />
<b>the Specials, and even Boy George, all of whom attest to reggae’s influence </b><br />
<b>on their own life and music. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b>In the latest instalment from one of BBC Four’s most authoritative documentary </b><br />
<b>strands, Reggae Britannia assesses the impact Jamaican music has had on </b><br />
<b>British culture. To coincide, there’s a concert at the Barbican in London, </b><br />
<b>where many big names from the UK reggae scene are due to congregate for a </b><br />
<b>Caribbean-flavoured knees-up. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b>“I wanted it to be a positive story,” says Jeremy Marre, the film’s director, </b><br />
<b>“to show how reggae in this country evolved, and impacted on British music, </b><br />
<b>society and even politics, and how reggae, as it evolved here, took on a </b><br />
<b>kind of Britishness. It evolved its own style, flavour and lyrics, which </b><br />
<b>were specific to these islands.” </b></div><div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Marre’s credentials are impeccable: as well as having directed parts of the </b><br />
<b>Soul Britannia series, he shot a lurid documentary in Kingston in 1977, </b><br />
<b>called Roots Rock Reggae and went on to make distinguished documentaries </b><br />
<b>about Bob Marley and the late-Seventies British reggae scene. </b></div><b><br />
</b><br />
<div><b>Reggae Britannia confidently plunges straight into the psyche of West Indian </b><br />
<b>immigrant kids, spiritually marooned in British cities in the Sixties. As </b><br />
<b>all corroborate, they found themselves clinging to the ska and rocksteady </b><br />
<b>tunes released here by Trojan Records, and Chris Blackwell’s fledgling </b><br />
<b>Island label, as a kind of badge of their identity and heritage. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Strikingly, David Hinds, the singer with top-flight Brit-reggae group, Steel </b><br />
<b>Pulse, recalls his bewilderment, as one of three or four black children in a </b><br />
<b>school class of 30 in Birmingham. He would be bombarded with information </b><br />
<b>about the Battle of Hastings and the Spanish Armada. Though he was born </b><br />
<b>here, he felt that he was being taught about someone else’s history. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Then, he started bringing his imported records into school – “something that </b><br />
<b>was ours” – and he began to feel understood, where once he’d felt alienated. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>For two musicians who feature prominently both in Marre’s film and in the </b><br />
<b>Barbican concert, Reggae Britannia evokes strong memories of that foundation </b><br />
<b>era of West Indian culture in Britain. Brinsley Forde’s band Aswad started </b><br />
<b>out backing stars such as Burning Spear in the mid-Seventies, but he says </b><br />
<b>that “we wanted to use reggae as a vehicle to tell our own story, of being </b><br />
<b>in England, in inner-city London”. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Basing their sound on the ascendant “roots” style forged by Bob Marley’s </b><br />
<b>Wailers, Aswad initially found it difficult to cross over into the </b><br />
<b>mainstream, because “we were struggling against this misconception that </b><br />
<b>reggae music made outside Jamaica wasn’t authentic”. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Dennis Bovell, who arrived in Wandsworth from Barbados aged 12, and grew up to </b><br />
<b>become London’s leading dub producer. He remembers how, in order to get his </b><br />
<b>records a fair hearing, he would ensure they looked like imported </b><br />
<b>“pre-releases” from Jamaica. He even went to the lengths of buying a </b><br />
<b>“dinking machine”, which knocked out a large hole in the centre of a </b><br />
<b>seven-inch record, as all Jamaican singles had. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>However, as Reggae Britannia vividly portrays, there was growing empathy for </b><br />
<b>Britain’s black youth in the economically grim late Seventies. That cultural </b><br />
<b>exchange, which had begun with immigrant kids bringing their ska tunes into </b><br />
<b>school, became a two-way street, when punk rock began to flaunt its </b><br />
<b>obsession with reggae, with bands like the Clash covering reggae hits such </b><br />
<b>as Police and Thieves. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>“Suddenly,” Bovell recalls, “I was in Linton Kwesi Johnson’s band, opening for </b><br />
<b>the Sex Pistols at the Rainbow. To begin with, the crowd were shouting, </b><br />
<b>'F--- off!’ Then Johnny Rotten came out and went, 'Oi, leave him alone – </b><br />
<b>he’s my mate!’ They all shut up after that and even applauded.” Bovell went </b><br />
<b>on to produce the Slits and toured with Ian Dury. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Also at about this time, Brit-reggae groups such as Steel Pulse, Aswad and </b><br />
<b>Misty in Roots began to break through, while the explosion of Jerry Dammer’s </b><br />
<b>2 Tone label in 1979-80 cemented the punk/reggae bond with a fully </b><br />
<b>integrated, uniquely British sound. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Reggae Britannia reaches its climax, however, when UK reggae finally achieved </b><br />
<b>its own identity via a syrupy, soulful new sound. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>“Jamaican reggae was pretty macho,” says Bovell. “Girls were mostly singing </b><br />
<b>back-up to guys who didn’t even sing that well. So we thought, 'Let’s get </b><br />
<b>these girls to the front, and do like the Supremes in reggae.’ ” </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>One of the first female singers, whom Bovell and his team recorded, was Janet </b><br />
<b>Kay, whose soaringly high-pitched Silly Games climbed to number two in the </b><br />
<b>pop charts. In order to differentiate from his roots and dub productions, </b><br />
<b>Bovell started up a new label called Lover’s Rock, which gave a name to the </b><br />
<b>sub-genre. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>“We were trying to stamp out scuffles in the dancehalls,” he recalls. “Plus, </b><br />
<b>roots was all quite political and biblical – all about prophesy and </b><br />
<b>Armageddon. We wanted to have a lighter side, for people who like love </b><br />
<b>songs, sweet lyrics and harmonies, who wear tonic and mohair, and go out on </b><br />
<b>the town, and comb their hair instead of wearing dreadlocks.” </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>In an era bulging with divergent youth lifestyles, Lover’s Rock swept through </b><br />
<b>Britain’s cities, inviting, as Bovell jovially suggests, racial union of the </b><br />
<b>purest kind. It was this sound that Aswad further evolved with Don’t Turn </b><br />
<b>Around, which ultimately became a number-one hit. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>“For us to have that sound,” says Brinsley Forde, “was really just part of the </b><br />
<b>culture of growing up in this country. It was important. Many years later, </b><br />
<b>my kids came back from school one day, and said, 'Aswad’s in our history </b><br />
<b>book!’ ” </b><br />

Although the band formed way back in 2003, it is the release of their debut full-length album ‘No Compromise’ that has earned them the moniker, ‘The New Face of Ska-core’.</b><b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Since the band’s formation, Broken Nose have supported some of the circuit’s biggest names, such as Adequate Seven, Sonic Boom 6, Streetlight Manifesto and Howard’s Alias, to name a few.

<br />
<b>The band began regularly appearing on some impressive line-ups around the UK, including a support slot with one of their major influences – Big D and the Kids Table, at The Underworld in Camden. Since then, Broken Nose opened 2010’s Ska Trek: The Next Generation Tour, with Anti Vigilante and fellow South Wales ska rockers, Dirty Revolution.</b><br />
