Clinark say’s about the filming, ‘the vibes were real good, the videographer (Anthony Redman) (pictured) did an amazing job, filming shots for two videos in succession, because it was the only time we could capture them on their world tour, Peter, Gramps and Irie Love had really good vibes. I laughed so much at Irie Loves jokes between the shots.’
Peter Morgan was not too well after the great Morgan Heritage concert at the Astoria the night before, so he had to rest his voice, but he gave all the onlookersa great performance of the first single from Clinark’salbum ‘ Life in the Ghetto.’ The rest of the video had already been filmed with Clinark by DOF films on locations in Edmonton, North London UK.
