The final few minutes drive into rural Cork can be something of a trial if you are not generally used to anything less than an eight–lane highway — do remember to keep to the left and watch out for sight–seeing cows.

The Rocksteady Beat

Double Barrel, by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry protegées, Dave and Ansell Collins, reached number one in the UK charts for two weeks in April 1971. The number was later covered by several English ska acts including The Selecter and The Specials. It was also the first record that legendary drummer, Sly Dunbar ever played on.
