MOHAIR SLIM interview with GRAEME GOODALL
Those who weren't listening to the Blue Juice radio program on Sunday 15th June missed out on a fabulous one hour interview from 2004 by roots musicologist Mohair Slim with Studio One sound engineer and reggae industry legend, Graeme Goodall.
The interview could almost be considered a mini biography with Graeme mentioning school, working in Melbourne (Australia) radio stations and answering the question that many of us have pondered: how an Australian ended up being involved in the inception of ska music.
Graham Goodall will be involved in the upcoming Melbourne Ska Orchestra's 5th Birthday celebrations at the Corner Hotel in Richmond, Victoria (Australia) on 28th June.
The Melbourne Ska Orchestra shows always receive rave reviews and this one will be no exception with The Caribs reunited for the first time in 45 years!
