This Sunday evening (June 3rd), at 10 past midnight, BBC2 are showing the film "The Harder They Come", starring Jimmy Cliff, the tale of an up and coming singer in Jamaica.
I'd recommend the film to you in any case, as it features some terrific music, but especially so because there are 2 scenes in it, set in some kind of dingy bar/social club, where Jimmy Cliff and his friend are clearly playing bar billiards.
Check it out, ideal late night viewing after returning home from the Sussex Open..... :)

Great film in it`s own right due to the music, did not know about the bar billiards angle, definitely give it a viewing.

Good find, BigStew.
Hope you don't mind but we'll keep this one with all the other fascinating examples.
We found evidence of Jimmy Cliff playing B'bs in the film "The Harder They Come" so yours is further proof that it's big in Jamaica !
