Listen back to the Drop Da Biscuit session with Locksley Gichie (Cimarons). Locksley muses about the early days of The Cimarons, tours to Nigeria during the Biafran war, linking with Fela at the Afro-Spot, backing Pat Kelly, Toots, Slim Smith among others, inspiring Bob's ‘Concrete Jungle’, the Morning Sun story, pros and cons of signing to major labels and the iconic Old Grey Whistle Test performance with Nicky Thomas and Dennis Alcapone. What a trip!
