I travelled around South London (mainly southwest London), recording on my iPad pro. I would always try to secure a seat on the top deck at the very front of the bus. I would then ‘fill in ‘these musical sketches later. I also would take lots of photos as I travelled around. On one occasion a bloke asked me if I “was Jah Wobble?" confirmed that I was. He asked me if I was working on anything new.

I said “yes, right this minute now you mention it”, and then played a top line in, on the iPad. I asked jimmeysy he thought. He said he liked it and promised to buy it.
