The idea for this LP was originally floated in 2018 and was intended to be a 6 track EP called ˜Songs for my father™. However, once Ghetto Priest got in the studio, the idea expanded as he went the extra mile adding his personal favourites, conjured up from childhood memories of his father™s tunes being played on the family radiogram with additions from his youthful excursions. A magical mixture of tracks associated with the greats  Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Slim Smith, Ken Boothe, Aaron Neville  ˜Big People Music™ can lay claim to being the 21st century™s equivalent of John Holt™s ˜1,000 Volts of Holt™  an absolute essential on every Blaupunkt radiogram on a Sunday and a blues party staple. The combination of standards and righteous releases were mixed down by the Bishop of Dub, Adrian Sherwood who blessed the project with the title ˜Big People Music™, a powerful acknowledgement to those tunes which filled many a Caribbean household with immeasurable sentiments that echoed down through subsequent generations. Please be upstanding for Ghetto Priest and ˜Big People Music™. 'In memory of the Right Honourable Arthur Beresford Townsend - My Father'
