In my youth I thought I was going to be a professional rugby player.

My generation had the best years. We missed the Second World War and caught the outburst of rock 'n' roll.

Suckle was the first West Indian DJ and he had this fantastic source of music.

I avoid the media circus, keep my head down and try to keep growing and learning things.

If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.

Some people think I'm a rock 'n' roll musician and some think I'm a jazz musician but, for me, there is no difference.
