I Bought a CD from Bob Marleys Cousin

The best known busker in Bath, Delroy Fowlin, sold me a 13 track album for £5 out of his guitar case, i think he must have liked me and Stef because everywhere i’ve looked up online about him says he sells them for £10. If you’ve ever been to Bath you’ll recognise this man, he’s out every day, rain or shine, playing some raw reggae. The burnt CD looks innocent enough, but it was co produced with Bunny Wailer and Stephen Marley. Delroy was born in Trenchtown, Kingston Jamaica and formed the band that plays in the album, Knowledge back in 1971.

If you’re in Bath say hello, and listen carefully to his lyrics, he likes to sing about people that walk past.
