Oh what a group. It is what this island "nation" does best. When we harmonise.

I once sent an email to a dreadzone website asking a question about Little Britain, this was back in 1997, I got a reply from Leo Williams of all people! the internet was a different beast back then. I felt really proud of that email and kept it for 3 years till hotmail when tits up.. To lad Leo!

Seen these at a festival years ago when this tune came on it went OFF!!! Brilliant.

Always rember finding this on a free Tennets lager mini cd. what a fucking tune.............

Saw these live at knebworth park (one of Oasis' support acts in 1996) I was so drunk i couldnt remember who I saw that day!! Accidentally stumbled on this yesterday and BANG, It all came flooding back lol ... only nearly 20 years late haha

I tuned into John Peel show to record a Dreadzone c1995 session....luckily I had a cassette handy..recorded the complete session..think that became Second Light

In my top ten tracks of the 90's, I kept seeing these guys on my adventures hitchhiking from festival to festival. xxx

I remember stumbling into their set at Glastonbury and loving it.

so glad I found it after so many years...

One of the best dance tunes.......ever.

"Oh look Andy, it's that music by Dreadzone, called 'Little Britain'" "Yeah I know." "Remember the '90s'? I wish I was still back there." "There were alright..." "Alright? But I thought you said the 1990s were a golden age, a time that will never be equalled, where music and culture were at their very peak.." "Yeah, I know. (pause) I want crisps."

They hammered it in January 1996. I was 18 and working in a warehouse with Radio 1 on all day. In February I went backpacking around Australia and didn’t hear it again until a few months ago when it popped up on my Spotify. I loved it then and love it now!

The best loved these since the 90s

Magical memories of Glastonbury festival. I was walking down from the campsite toward the Pyramid stage when this started playing on the sound system. Everyone (yes, EVERYONE) in the crowd started bouncing when the beat dropped. It truly was beautiful.

Used to be the theme for Endsleigh league football show

Loved this tune for 20 odd years...👍

Finally found this song after years of YouTubing. A great song.

Don letts da man da bomb da absolute legend

I heard this at Knebworth in 1996 and it was one of the best performances ...such a beautiful tune.

Second Light. Best album I ever heard.

Saw them play live at the very First Summer Sundae festival at De Montfort Hall, Leicester.

"Nationwide Football League Extra; In association with Nationwide Building Society" ⚽️⚽️⚽️

I remember when this classic came out

Fantastic tune sounds even better now I can afford my own dj set up in my liveing room banging it out

Such "Drum & Bass" golden 90s :D

We need more class tunes like this in today fucked up materialistic world.

I only knew the black star liner mix cause it was on a compilation of different king size dub tracks when i was 19 now i am fucking 45 and turn 46 in 2 months......arghh what the hell happen to Time? Went by so extreme fast..crazy

I saw them live at Guilfestl.. I danced like I was possessed! lol

I saw them in London years back. A free day off music to high light racism. I fink I saw them at Cambridge strawberry fair too. Great live !

In the study I had to take part in the course gymnastics/dance and I wasn't looking forward for it. But we danced to that song and I loved to dance to this music. Beautiful music

love it

2 of them please, school choir style 🎉😊❤

These sounds invoke the spirit of Blake’s Albion. There’s more to us than boat-stopping Brexiteers, snivelling at the feet of the House of Saxe Coburg. When the Angel of the North takes flight over Stonehenge and Arthur rises again, we will shed the Norman Yoke and build The New Jerusalem!

Awesome dreadzone underate great band❤❤
