Last nights Moonstompin’ radio show certainly live up to its name, with plenty of skankin’ sounds from our own Agent M, and guest DJ Matty J, who took you on a top quality ska and rocksteady journey.

Our special thanks go out once again to guest Matty J, who, aside from airing some top-notch original recordings, and playing a blinding set, he also took time out to pay a musical tribute to the “Godfather Of Rocksteady“, the late, great, Alton Ellis, who died recently. R.I.P Alton, and well done Matty, for a fitting tribute. (you can read a copy of Alton’s obituary from The Times here)
