Shop worker, film director, DJ and songwriter are just some of the hats Don Letts likes to wear. And boy, does Don love a good hat. He made his name as the King's Road's coolest shop worker at Acme Attractions. He was resident DJ at the short-lived but influential Roxy on Neal Street, and he made the seminal The Punk Rock Movie. Later in his career, his Clash documentary Westway to the World won him a Grammy. He was a member of Mick Jones's 80s band B.A.D, and since 2009 he's hosted a show on BBC 6 Music, where his eclectic taste is on display every week. More recently he released Version Excursion for Late Night Tales, an album full of reimagined dub. In a wide-ranging conversation, we talked to Don about selling weed to Bob Marley, being endlessly followed by the police, directing music videos, his long relationship with The Clash and his jaundiced view of streaming platforms.
