Reggae Central!

 

The biggest reggae event of the year is close at hand and definitely a source of excitement. Celebrating Jamaica’s 50th year of independence at indigo2 is going to be a momentous experience and one you should join the Guestlist crew at.  

 

12 nights through July and August of some of the best reggae sounds going are titled Respect Jamaica 50. This line up is also to die for! From Damian Jr.Gong Marley, Lee Scratch Perry, Jamaican Legends Band, Mutabaruka, Mighty Diamonds, Freddie Mcgregor, Tarrius Riley, Marcia Griffiths, Gyptian, Natty, Shaggy, Bob Andy you’ll be feeling the soothing beats for days on end!

 

The late 1960’s was a welcoming for reggae music and finally here’s a chance to celebrate the place of its birth; Jamaica. Reggae music is all about poverty, social injustice, religion and love and because of the troubles Jamaica faced over the years it speaks from the soul. So celebrate this soulful sound between the 25th of July and 6th of August in Indigo2 at the o2.

 

If you want some Jamaican comedy then Proud2 will supply you with The Best in Jamaican Comedy. Don’t miss out on the live and once in a lifetime celebrations!

REVIEW: Rockfresh - 'Superimposed Headphones'

Rockfresh sell clothes and make music. The clothes are cool; the music’s almost cool. Naturally, being as entrenched in hip hop culture as Rockfresh insist they are, the next step would be bringing out your own thing. It’s a massive task they undertake: ‘Superimposed Headphones&
