00:00In 1966, five musicians got together in Halstead.
00:09They were the spark that started a big flame.
00:11They were the band, you know, they were the start of it.
00:14They played on 90% of the reggae music that make in this country.
00:18Without Simmerons, there'd be no reggae music in the UK.
00:21It's like what the Rolling Stones has done for rock and roll.
00:24Almost every artist come from Jamaica.
00:26You have to work with Simmerons.
00:27You name it.
00:28They backed them.
00:29They backed everybody.
00:30Brothers and sisters, they're here with us tonight.
00:33Put your hands together for the Dynamic Simmerons!
00:41It doesn't matter where you go.
00:43If they play reggae music, you'll hear the name Simmerons.
00:46They were the first to take reggae around the world.
00:49It was amazing what I got out of it.
00:51It's rebels.
00:52It blew the mind, man.
00:53This is an unprecedented feat for a British reggae band.
00:57Take you higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
01:01This is the 70s.
01:02It was okay to be vocally racist.
01:05They're crucial at that moment in time.
01:08We just wanted to do music.
01:10That's all we wanted to do.
01:12Most bands in England used to support the Simmerons.
01:15With classy jam.
01:16They were asked to create an album by Paul McCartney.
01:19My generation of musicians stand on the shoulders of bands like the Simmerons.
01:26They just sort of disappeared out of view.
01:34After all these years, I didn't think that we'd survive this long.
01:37When I'm on stage, I don't feel it.
01:39I don't feel no pain at all.
01:41You're in a different world.
01:43Nothing can trouble you up there.
01:45This is part of my heritage.
01:46This is part of my culture.
01:49People have given up everything for this music.
01:51I broke down, man.
01:52I cried.
01:54I cried.
01:56I'm just hoping that the band will continue.
02:01That same authenticity is still there.
02:04They can't stop.
02:07We're getting older, but I'm sure the fun is done.
02:10They can't stop until it's time for them to stop.
02:14And that's not it.
02:17There's more to come.
02:19Simmerons!
02:22That's true business.
02:26Everybody has a destiny.
02:28It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there.
02:31And still, we're not human.
02:33We are...
02:35Invincible.
