ALLSAINTS NEW MUSIC CITIES: SOUTH LONDON "If I could duplicate the sounds of south London it would sound like Irish music, on top of Nigerian music, on top of reggae, on top of gospel, cars with two loud sound systems going past, people talking in Urdu, cockney, everything going off at the same time."
