In Praise of Essex (sort of) Part 10 - Jah Wobble
A13
Oh Land of my fathers Ancient Celtic warrior race How are your tomatoes doing?
Jah Wobble may praise Essex, but he long ago left his home turf of Stepney. The Times, 2003.
"Five years ago, they moved with their two young sons from the East End to leafy suburban Cheshire. “I know the inner city, I know those estates, and it ain’t got no better,” Wobble says. “I wouldn’t like to be an old person living in Bethnal Green.” "
