Last year, we saw Third World performing in Camden Town. Their manager invited us backstage, and we had a great chat with Cat and AJ Brown.
Almost the same here, Mike. 'Cept it was 2 years ago in my case, and Hartford, USA. And our chat included another member (the keyboardist, I think).

Sad news that. May he RIEP. So now it's Ibo, Rugs, Prilly and Cat doing their Third World thing on the night shift. Play on, guys.

Thanks a million for that article on PBJ-- almost JBC, eh? It's a keepsake.

Saw the real Third World in their prime 3 times in the â80s and â90s.
Once with Yellowman and once with Freddy McGregor.

Carrot too. Of The prime Th. W. Band only Drummie Willie and Bassie Richie still have voices. Who was the very 1st drummer?

Wickedest band ever. Saw them live in the early 1990s. Thanks for the memories. SIP and go see Jah Glory in the rising sun

He was a great guitarist... I had the opportunity to see him in the 70s in the peak of 3rd world dominance and in NYC later...
RIP CAT.

RIP Cat.
Last time I saw him was in Kingston Cricket Club, with Third Wold's original bassist, Colin Leslie, at the test match between WI & Pakistan.
I must confess he didn't look too hot and I was shocked at how much he had aged

I always found him to be very engaging with fans.
I ran into Thrid World at Miami International Airport circa 2018. Got a picture with him and Bassist Richie Daley and my kids and now I am super frustrated I cant find the pic.
