It was an unexpected format for the event, but it definitely worked - the 45 minute film & then an hour of Q&A worked really well. This was probably down to the facilitator doing such a good job, and asking interesting questions. Don himself was an interesting guy, full of memories and stories from 1977/78 and opinions that resonated with me about the present day. All in all, it was a top night, and the venue was excellent. It's not often I go to new locations in my home town after being here 22 years !!

Absolutely loved the music ,dub reggae and punk was the soundtrack of my youth.The interview and question and answer session concluded a really enjoyable evening at a great Venue, pity that it was not at full capacity.

Letts came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ that single handedly turned a whole generation of punks onto reggae. It was whilst DJing at the first punk club 'The Roxy' in 1977, that Don adopted the punk D.I.Y ethic and began to make his first film 'The Punk Rock Movie'. Shot on Super-8mm, it is the only documentary on the U.K punk scene; featuring The Sex Pistols, The Clash and many others. This led to a period directing over 300 music videos for a diverse range of artists, including Bob Marley, Elvis Costello and Beenie Man.

From the days of Punk Rock to the present, he has always been drawn towards musical projects. He created the band Basement Five, released a single with members of John Lydon's P.I.L, managed The Slits and collaborated with members of Trouble Funk.

In the mid 80's he formed the group 'Big Audio Dynamite' with Mick Jones (ex-Clash). He went on to perform and co-write four albums with B.A.D, achieving several hits on both sides of the Atlantic including the top ten hit E=Mc2.

In the early 90's Don left B.A.D to form Screaming Target, their debut performance at The Transmusical Festival in France received rave reviews. They released one critically acclaimed album 'Hometown Hi-Fi'.
