There is no DJ in the UK, possibly the world that gives so much information, so much collected knowledge and so much love for their work, then this legend. Sir David Rodigan has truly fed my passion for reggae and helped it grow. I love hearing reggae artists from all around the world shout him out in their song. KING RODIGAN

When reggae catches your ear it never goes away!

I've never hate on Rodigan. I have nothing but big 100% respect for the man. His love for reggae is bonafide genuine. All those years ago when he started, did he knew he was going to get knighted? No, he didn't. His reggae knowledge is immense. The man met the legends in person, the stars, the producers, the sound operators. The fact he's white is irrelevant. He, along with Tony Screw's Downbeat and U Roy's Sturgav are keeping reggae alive. Nuff respeck, Roddy!

well, actually, the fact that he is white is relevant because it is a testament to the beauty and power of culture vibe, it can unify us all if we open our hearts to it. I myself am a white skinned Cuban and my passion for Reggae is off the charts. But to concur with you, Rodigan the boss selecter

Major respect to rodigan. I use to listern to his music from when I was just a young boy listening to him on sunday nights at my friends place on his rastafarian dads old radio. Later in in life reggae was the music that saved my soul well incarcerated for 4 years as it bought me hope and love in a place that only has violence and upset. Big up reggae music world wide. 1 love

What a speech to start his set, respect!

How'd u like Soul Syndicate+King Tubby+Dennis Brown+Steven Marley?!? I love how he mixes the the history with his love for the music. I only found him last year, yet have been listening to these genres for nearly 20 years. There is no other music like this. None. So now he goes from my favorite King tubby+Jacob Miller to Bitty McClean ... We are fortunate to have such easy access to this. Nothing nurtures my spirit quite like reggae music. Cheers.

Sir David Rodigan came to LUTON TOWN a few years back the club he played was 61 club and he was good,, I left the club at 2.ooa.m thinking he was done LORD I WENT BACK IN HE WAS STILL PLAYING, HE PLAY A TUNE LIKE THE GIRL ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET,,, I WAS LIKE WHOA YOU CANT SIN LYRIC LIKE THAT BOOM HE STAYED UNTILL 4.00 AM BLESS A TRUE LOVER OF GIVING PEOPLE A GOOD TIME;)

Mad respect for David Rodigan he's being doing his ting since I was a youth.

Living legend. DJ knows his stuff.

Whole heapah tune Rodigan you can sure pick them!!!

It doesn't matter if you are black white green or any other colour vibes are vibes david rodigan is a legend respect

my man has been there for the country and culture from day 100

Rodigan played Dublin around the same time as this BR, in Twisted Pepper and I'm enjoying this (i.e. watching at home) more than I enjoyed being at the gig. It's a unique experience, a Roddy gig, with its pros and cons. Like any reggae sound system event with the soundclash formula, the stops and starts break your concentration but with Roddy, the constant pull ups and monologues make you feel like there's more talk and silence than there is music. Also, you're dancing..then you're standing around..then you're dancing again. It gets a bit wearying after an hour. On the plus side, there's some great stuff in the stories, the music (when its on) is fantastic and there's the joyous sight of this fat speccy old geezer leaping around to reggae, doing what most young DJs dream of still doing in their 60s.

David Rodigan is one of my favourite radio disc jockeys in the world Without the likes of him and Bob Marley I would never had discovered the wonderful music of Jamaica known as reggae. Enough respect to you Mr Rodigan

Respect for you from Curaçao 🇨🇼

The only English man able to go anywhere in the world, respect

This should of to be teached at a certain level at the school...I m not from the UK but this is knowledge...

pure class. respect

I was reading some of these comments and anybody with sense should David radigan is a good entertainer not really a selector now coxsone was not hating on radigan he was just putting him in his proper place because he is not a godfather for reggae in England it was very disrespectful for those bigger heads in Jamaica to reward him a honour that he doesn't deserve that's all

He never said he was a godfather of reggae but a gateway, a door so to speak to open up for all, the power of reggae and to share the sounds of Jamaica and his love his passion his pride. He is a funny little fella but he is the best in his craft and he respects everyone and doesn't think he is above or better than anyone even tho he kill a sound boy fi dead lol he is an ambassador and loves the Jamaica people as much as their music. Nothing but love and that's facts, hate him or love him he is a legend.
