EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, members of the renowned reggae band Aswad take a moment of respite from their electrifying performance at an open-air concert in Penwith, Cornwall during the summer of 1983. Founder member Brinsley Forde, dressed casually in a white t-shirt and jeans, sits on the grass with a thoughtful expression, while his bandmates engage in lighthearted banter nearby. The laid-back atmosphere of the scene is further emphasized by the presence of a colorful marquee and a field dotted with spectators enjoying the music. Aswad, known for their distinctive brass-heavy sound, had risen to prominence in the early 1980s with hits like "Don't Turn Around" and "It's Not Our Intention." The band's unique fusion of reggae, soul, and funk resonated with audiences both in the UK and internationally. In this candid moment, the musicians are seen relaxing offstage, with their instruments scattered around them. Brass instruments, including a trombone, saxophone, and trumpet, are visible, a testament to the band's mastery of their craft. Some members don baseball caps adorned with badges, adding a touch of individuality to their appearance. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these talented musicians, showcasing their camaraderie and the relaxed, carefree spirit of an outdoor concert in the 1980s.
