. . Creative genes are typically multi layered and multi disciplinary - music and art are intertwined. Honours and respect thereto the Steel Pulse legend Colin Gabbidon legendary drummer from Steel Pulse. @cgabbidonartgallery In parallel to his impressive music career, Colin has devoted himself to his other passion, visual art, where he has had numerous successful exhibitions here in the UK as well as in Germany. Colin, a self-taught painter of landscapes and portraits, has become well known worldwide. All started for him in 1985 when he had his first exhibitions in Birmingham’s Library followed by an exhibition at the Symphony hall. Colin, to this day, is still pursuing his dream as a visual artist and his works have gained tremendous recognition worldwide. Coming from Jamaica to the UK in the Windrush generation he came from an environment where music and fine art were at the central focus when growing up. Together with his parents and siblings they settled in the afro-Caribbean community of Handsworth in Birmingham where Colin attended school alongside his older brother Basil. Artwork for the legendary albums Handsworth Revolution and Tribute to the Martyrs were both conceived and drawn by Basil Gabbidon and brought to final by agency BLOOMFIELD TRAVIS; who designed for Burning Spear Augustus Pablo, Barrington Levy – as well as a lot of Punk bands. Andrew Aloof was commissioned to do the final artwork for Handsworth Revolution #steelpulse #ukrootsreggae #birmingham #handsworh #handsworthrevolution

Cubano Chicken Hottie. Brum Stylee. In the real world 😉, The Cubano has two variations, one from Miami and one from Tampa. This sandwich rivalry has been raging on for decades, each side professing that their version is the best. Enter GupShup 💪🔥 We believe we've created the Best Cubano hottie on the face of sandwich earth😉😎 We've made it Brum Stylee ❤️ The Cubano hottie is: Soft sweet toasted Shokupan bread. Mojo marinated baked chicken thighs. What dis? Dis is: Smoky citrus marinade made with lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, salsa, olive oil, salt, and pepper. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Then we layer with delicately smoked chicken rashers, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, Dil Pickles and lavish it with French's mustard. All encased in toasted, carmalised Japanese Shokupan bread. It’s practically a complete meal you can eat while walking, working or driving a Ferrari Daytona like Crockett & Tubbs Miami Vice style ( It's okay, cool Gen X know this reference)😂❤️💪 👉 If you're a foodie, or someone who wants to educate your tastebuds this is the Hottie to try. We can safely say you will not be able to eat this flavour combination anywhere in Brum 👈🏿 It tastes ❤️🔥 💯 HMC #birminghamuk🇬🇧 #shokupan #sando #greatwesternarcade #cubano #miami #tampa #edgbaston #handsworh #harborne #smethick #smallheath #moseley #sellypark #sellyoak #stirchley #hellobrum #astonuniversity #kingsheath #bournville #perrybarr #aston #broadstreet #brindleyplace #victoriasquare #colmorerow #foodie #foodblogger #sandwich #chicken
