Duke Vin, first sound system operator in the UK (pre disco), 2002 © Charlie Phillips
Print purchased by the Museum of London and included in their upcoming exhibition Dub London.
The early Sound Systems were basic affairs built around a single record deck, a valve amp and a speaker. But by the 1950’s they had grown to purpose built speakers the size of wardrobes that could be heard many blocks away. The larger these systems the better. Record producer Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee would remember from the time &pdquo;Sound System was like our radio station ... not many people on the island would own a wireless, so it was the way for the people to here there music”. These ’House of Joys&rsqup; as they were affectionately known were run by the likes of Tom the Great Sebastian who would have people like the legendary Duke Vin [who would go on to be the first system operator in England when he emigrated there years later] spinning his tunes.

Freedom Road: A film which re-imagines the music of the American Civil Rights movement
in the time of Black Lives Matter
Includes photos by Charlie Phillips and Vanley Burke.
May be viewed until Sunday, 8 August 2020 on YouTube: Click Here for Free Access
Billed as a trailer for the feature length version due out later this year, but it is more than that and is 35 min well spent. It was released 27 July 2020 at Olby's Soul Cafe (olbyssoulcafe.co.uk)
In March 2020 as part of POW! (Thanets Womens Festival), vocalist Sabina Desir and keyboard player Jessica Lauren created their immersive performance Freedom Road at Turner Contemporary in Margate. Built around music connected with Black peoples struggle for equality in 20th century America, focusing particularly on the 1960s and 1970s, the work took inspiration from and related to the gallery’s exhibition, We Will Walk.

The Art of Asperger’s
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland have granted Gillian Marsh Productions €135k to make a 52 minute documentary on Seán Hillen, provisionally titled The Art of Asperger’s for broadcast on the national broadcaster RTÉ in Autumn 2019. The documentary will be centred around the ‘excavation’ of Sean’s famously messy studio (which puts Francis Bacon’s to shame!) and extraction of his ‘archive’ with the help of an archivist from the National Irish Visual Arts Library who will then receive the press archive. Gillian Marsh, GMarsh TV is one of Ireland’s top regional production companies. Based near Crossmolina in Co Mayo, the company has built its name producing distinctive television with a rural edge. With an emphasis on factual and observational documentary our productions capture the essence of rural life simply and delicately, capturing the extraordinary in ordinary lives.
