backing vocals are Bubblers and Don Campbell
Ruff Cutt was created in 1980 to meet the needs of the large population of singers, musicians and producers in the North West London area. The founding fathers were Carlton ‘Bubblers’ Ogilvie, Kenton ‘Fish’ Brown and Tony ‘Crucial’ Phillips/ Dianne white, Anthony Thomas and Desmond coke. They decided to start up their own operation – The Ruff Cutt rehearsal room and studio, stemmed from a total lack of any music facility for the youth in the district.

Ruff Cutt`s humble beginings were in an unused storeroom on the Stonebridge council estate. Despite this, Ruff Cutt soon became the place in the Harlesden and Willesden areas for young artistes and musicians to rehearse and record, bands like Cimarron’s, The Greyhound Creation Rebel, Freedom Fighters, Family band, and also The Administrators were based there, It was out of the musicians who used the facility that a nucleus was formed; it was from that core that The Undivided Roots Band was to emerge some four years later in 1984.

Mr Big Man
Hey Mr Big man Why dont you give the little man a hand
Hey Mr Big man Why dont you give the little man a hand
Whats the use of your getting big
and you dont want to give my people a hand
you want to change my fathers plan
who are you man your just a big man
who are you man your just a big man
and not because your allright
you take it on your head your giving i a big fight
and not because your sitting in your easy chair
it seems you have no heart at all
but for real i know that one day one of these fine days
one of these days
we shall overcome we shall overcome
Hey Mr Big man Why dont you give the little man a hand
Hey Mr Big man Why you try to change my jah jah plan
and cow never know the use of him tail and till the butcher cut it off
silent river run deep you know
one of these days one of these fine days
we shall overcome we shall overcome
Hey Mr Big Man time is the master
Mr Big man
i am the stone that the builder refuse
the father will lend a helping hand always
the father will lend a helping hand always
your running out of time
youve got no chance
