Thursday the 1st of June 2023 was a very historical day for hundreds of music lovers in the heart of Bradford and all over the country.

Not only was it a special day that marked 30 years of the Legendary track by two time Grammy Award Winners – ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, it was also the celebration of a philosophical and musical legacy, blessed with the force of an afro-centric fusion that had captured the hearts of many people around the world into a unique and poetic way of creating music.

It was also the first time for me to meet the Legendary Speech in person- THE FOUNDER OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and engage him into a lengthy interview for the benefit of our online audiences around the world.

The meeting took place at The Underground, Duke Street in Bradford and was made possible by Gail.

I was accompanied by a good friend, JERRY CRAWFORD (who continues to do great work in Bradford)

As we arrived the venue, I walked up to SPEECH and gave him a hug, I thanked him for all the great contributions that he had made to the music industry over the years. He was warm, extremely down to earth and philosophical.

My mind raced back to the legacies that Arrested Development had created to the music industry for many years and the memories they had created and painted with a musical revolution like no other.

It was evening filled with words of wisdom, personal stories , beautiful moments and a historical day that will always live through the depth of my heart.
