Black British Dance Experience: Norman Jay MBE

Nemone explores the Black British Experience as part of 麻豆社 6 Music Celebrates Dance Culture, plus there's Most Played with Norman Jay MBE.

As 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music Celebrates: Dance Culture, Nemone continues to explore your experiences of the genre.

This weekend it's the Black British Experience. The sound systems playing out soul, ska, dub and reggae, laid the path for DJs and dance music to be accepted readily in the UK. Nemone champions the people that made it so, and the music that got us there.

Norman Jay MBE talks us through his musical inspirations, the importance of the Notting Hill Carnival and his moments in his Most Played. Hear music from the likes of Soul II Soul through to Bob Marley.

Most of all though Nemone will be sharing your experiences of being there and the stories of what it was like for you.
