Transcript

00:00In 1966, five musicians got together in Halstead.

00:09They were the spark that started a big flame.

00:11They were the band, you know, they were the start of it.

00:14They played on 90% of the reggae music that make in this country.

00:18Without Simmerons, there'd be no reggae music in the UK.

00:21It's like what the Rolling Stones has done for rock and roll.

00:24Almost every artist come from Jamaica.

00:26You have to work with Simmerons.

00:27You name it.

00:28They backed them.

00:29They backed everybody.

00:30Brothers and sisters, they're here with us tonight.

00:33Put your hands together for the Dynamic Simmerons!

00:41It doesn't matter where you go.

00:43If they play reggae music, you'll hear the name Simmerons.

00:46They were the first to take reggae around the world.

00:49It was amazing what I got out of it.

00:51It's rebels.

00:52It blew the mind, man.

00:53This is an unprecedented feat for a British reggae band.

00:57Take you higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.

01:01This is the 70s.

01:02It was okay to be vocally racist.

01:05They're crucial at that moment in time.

01:08We just wanted to do music.

01:10That's all we wanted to do.

01:12Most bands in England used to support the Simmerons.

01:15With classy jam.

01:16They were asked to create an album by Paul McCartney.

01:19My generation of musicians stand on the shoulders of bands like the Simmerons.

01:26They just sort of disappeared out of view.

01:34After all these years, I didn't think that we'd survive this long.

01:37When I'm on stage, I don't feel it.

01:39I don't feel no pain at all.

01:41You're in a different world.

01:43Nothing can trouble you up there.

01:45This is part of my heritage.

01:46This is part of my culture.

01:49People have given up everything for this music.

01:51I broke down, man.

01:52I cried.

01:54I cried.

01:56I'm just hoping that the band will continue.

02:01That same authenticity is still there.

02:04They can't stop.

02:07We're getting older, but I'm sure the fun is done.

02:10They can't stop until it's time for them to stop.

02:14And that's not it.

02:17There's more to come.

02:19Simmerons!

02:22That's true business.

02:26Everybody has a destiny.

02:28It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there.

02:31And still, we're not human.

02:33We are...

02:35Invincible.
