This musical film looks at the extraordinary variety of black music being played in Britain today. It features some of Britain's best black artists, among them ' Living on the frontline' fusion music man Eddy Grant , soul funk band the Real Thing and reggae band Misty in Roots.
The film shows them at work and in their everyday lives. We hear what they think about living in Britain and how their lives are reflected in their music. It ranges from the harmonies of a gospel church in Lewisham to the funky sounds of the Liverpool ghetto, from Notting Hill's carnival steel bands to Rastafarian reggae in Southall. Alex Pascall, of BBC Radio London becomes a ' TV DJ ' for the night.
