“I have enjoyed singing and playing music for over 50 years and am gearing up to celebrate this milestone with a version of my song Silly Games, which I originally recorded with Janet Kay in 1979. The original version of the song features in Steve McQueen’s film “Lovers Rock”, one of the new Small Axe TV series and Steve also invited me to play a small acting role” – Dennis Bovell
And the dub…
