  Hi,
  Caribbean Music Festival 1969

  I went to this concert in 1969 and I still have the ticket.

  Would it be possible to get a PDF download of the programme as mine has got lost over the years.
  This was a brilliant concert and I feel proud that I travelled with a few of my mates on the train down from the Wirral, Cheshire at the time of this feast of reggae music. Superb.

  Many thanks,
  Alan Hughes, Bromborough, wirral

  Bim and Bam, the Jamaican comedians do not seem to appear on this programme – were they there as a supporting act? If not, does anyone know when they did appear? They were on a Jamaican music programme at the Empire Pool Wembley in the second half of the 1970s.

  Hi Mike

  Bim & Bam were on the Second Wembley Caribbean Music Festival – in 1970.
  I am the then young white man introducing Bim & Bam to some of the artistes in the changing-room right at the start of the film REGGAE before the title/credits appear. Justin Lewis (Bim’s son) is writing a book and making a documentary film about his father. I am still in regular touch with Count Prime Miller, compere of the show.

  Regards
