On June 22nd 1948, the Empire Windrush landed at Tillbury Docks, carrying with it a few hundred West Indian immigrants. One of them was calypsonian Lord Kitchener, who wrote an optimistic song about his arrival called London is the Place for Me.

As the UK government apologises for incorrectly identifying some members of the Windrush generation as illegal immigrants, Front Row commissioned calypsonian Alexander D Great to write a new song for modern times.

Alexander D Great’s album After the Windrush is also out now.
