Well supported

Count Suckle (Wilbert Augustus Campbell, 1931-2014) was a Kingston-born sound-system operator and club owner who, alongside Duke Vin, pioneered Jamaican sound-system culture in 1950s London after stowing away to Britain. He ran the Count Suckle Sound System and later owned the Cue/Q Club in Paddington, one of Black London's most important venues from the 1960s to the 1980s, central to the spread of ska and reggae in the UK.
