I was there right at the front!!!!!!!! the whole place was rocking. I was only 16 at the time and remember it like yesterday. I was poppin back in those days I used to hang with all the covent garden crew great memories everyone who saw this in real timeknew that the UK would be on the brink of something big happening before this was jeffrey daniel but Eclipse took popping to the next level when i saw this
Wicked post Shokones!! Was there that day, live down the road from there.. It was at the Mastermind Roadshow, under the Westway, they were dancing on top of the portacabin toilets!
Memories!! I used to dance myself with KREW from Ladbroke Grove, with SIr Drew and Skam one.. Can you hear the excitement of the crowd!! Brings it all back to what it meant back then.. Peace.. KD.
i was there too!!..the great danny francis..you,basil,dennis and michael forsyth would of been britain's answer to these guys!!!RIP skeeter rabbit..p.s you would remember me!!
i was there too danny and you would remember me from back in the day at electric ballroom..you were great along with basil,darnell,dennis,michael forsyth,be-bop,feathers,and the tut brothers clive and winston...thanks shokones..this is a british hip hop gem of all popping videos
danny francis!!..i was there too at carnival..they were brilliant..but!!so were YOU..basil,michael forsyth,dennis charles,be-bop,darnell,fury and little fury,feathers and hoffmaster,bionic,mc mello,dj business,our original spyder,kingbreaker,your brother and milton and many more crews..thank you all from those days..bring it back!!!
I love finding clips like this. How big was the camera that was used to record it? I bet it was huge! This was back when Poppin' was the big thing in Britain. Breakin' didn't really take off here, until the the end of '83, and '84.
The were living in London at that time 83/84 something like that the group they were in was also a singing group.. Pete Skeet Casper suga pop Dane the with the shakes, and a lady I dont remember her name she did the lead vocals,
Dang, U know Damon & Dennis Charles? This is Danny Farncis-I used 2 dance with both of them, plus I was a founder member of both Zulu Rockers & London All-Stars! Shout me on myspace/theelusivedannyF!!! Peace!
Hey I used to know a popper/Bboy, he was white, his name was Killian, tall lanky kid with a biffro, man he used to hang in Covent Garden, he was pretty good, used to talk about the Zulu rockers alot...just about one of the only white kids doing it back in 83..
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this rare jem! Videotaping this type of thing back in the days was just not common so for you to bring this up and putting it out is such a blessing.
