Covent Garden in 1985 was the venue for the first organised Hip Hop event in the UK. Graffiti action from the Chrome Angelz. Rock City, London All-Stars, Live To Break, Look Twice, The B-Boys, Breakazoids and others on the B-Boy tip. Imperial Mixers on the turntables.
Well worn footage taken from Artful Dodgers 'Get The Message' video. Enjoy.

Does anyone have the full version of this event? Old school UK landmark events, seem to be kept back by a small % of selfish idiots, who just want to hold on and not share the past. A whole generation are missing out on what I believe, were the defining moments in UK hiphop. This shit is almost 25 years old, so surely, if this clip was put together, then their MUST be a full version!!

I still have a cassette of the Shaw Theatre convention that you, Dazzle Fresh, Cosmic Jam and DJ Streets Ahead performed at.
Red Alert and Jazzy Joyce were there too.
