Don Letts’ reputation has been firmly established in both the film and music world by a substantial body of work from the late 70's through the 80's, 90’s and well into the millennium.
He came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ that single-handedly turned a whole generation of punks onto reggae.
It was whilst as a DJ at the first punk club 'The Roxy' in 1977, that he made his first film 'The Punk Rock Movie' w/ Sex Pistols, The Clash and many others. This led to a period directing over 300 music videos for a diverse mix of artists ranging from Public Image to Bob Marley.
He currently presents a weekly radio show on BBC 6 Music called 'Culture Clash Radio' and still DJs nationally and internationally.
Don's days as a DJ started by accident when he was asked to play at The Roxy Club (the UK’s first live punk rock venue). In between the fast and furious live punk sets Don played what he liked - serious dub reggae. Lucky for him the punks liked it too and this mix gave rise to the ‘punky-reggae party’. From that time till this he’s continued to DJ nationally and internationally with a set that’s very much in the spirit of his days at The Roxy – we’re talking the history and legacy of Jamaican music – with an emphasis on moving the crowd.
