Since 2001 Pama Intl have been brewing a unique blend of 60's soul, 70's reggae with a 21st century commentary.

Pama International will be joined by Dave "Double Barrel" Barker on a superb Saturday night bill. Ska'd for Life will be guest DJs ensuring a night of ska, reggae and dub. Pama Intl/Mad Professor will be promoting their new dub album, a reworking of PI's critically acclaimed Outernational album (**** Mojo, "an album of substance" Q, "seamless merging of old & new" Echoes), titled "Rewired! In Dub". Dave Barker is famous as part of Jamaican duo, Dave and Ansell Collins who hit the top of the UK and US charts in 1971 with "Double Barrel" and followed it up with "Monkey Spanner". A superb singer Dave was one of the stars of the Boss Sounds Festival in 2007 when he stole the show and joined Prince Buster on stage for a fantastic finale.

The legendary after show party will again be held at "World Headquarters" and will feature, "Ska'd for Life" DJs and the Pangaea Sound System.

Sunday is roots night with, direct from Jamaica, the Mighty Diamonds. One of the most famous vocal groups of the '70s and '80s the Diamonds consist of Donald "Tabby" Shaw (lead vocals) with Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson providing harmonies and occaisional lead. Backed up by Sly and Robbie and drum and bass Diamond mania erupted across Jamaica and the across Europe when they signed for Virgin Records in the late '70s. Timeless classics like, "Right Time" and "I Need A Roof" formed the sound track to the era. There biggest hit was the original version of, "Pass The Dutchie" made famous by Musical Youth, originally entitled, "Pass the Kouchie". The Diamonds will be joined by the north east greatest rootsy party band, Diddley Squat, legends of the Green Festival a mighty ten piece joyous combo.

Pama Intl - last shows

2010-09-13T00:15:00.002+01:00

Pama Intl will be performing our last shows for the foreseeable future at the end of 2010.

The last 10 years have been an unbelievable time for us. We've released 8 albums and collaborated with some amazing people; Lynval & Horace (The Specials), Lee Thompson (Madness), Billy Bragg, Michie One, Groove Corp, Wrongtom, Ernie McKone (Galliano), Manasseh, Fuzz Townsend (PWEI/Bentley Rhythm Ace), Gary Alesbrook (Kasabian/Noel Gallagher), Neol Davies (The Selecter), Mungos Hi Fi, reggae legends; Dennis Alcapone, Derrick Morgan, Rico Rodriguez, Dave Barker & Ansell Collins, Dawn Penn, AJ Franklin, Winston Francis and of course Mad Professor, plus members from Big Boss Man, Intensified, Steel Pulse and The Lee Perry Band. We've had the honour of supporting; Toots & The Maytals, Prince Buster, Jimmy Cliff, Lee Perry, Madness, The Specials, Mick Jones' Carbon/Silicon, Third World and played Glastonbury, Womad, Vintage, The Big Chill, Beautiful Days, Bestival, Guilfest & many other superb festivals. We became the first band in 30 years to sign to Trojan Records in 2006 and launched our own Rockers Revolt label in 2008. It has all been a pretty fantastic decade, with each year out doing the last.

After 10 years of working solidly on Pama Intl, time has come for an extended break. It certainly won't be the last you hear of Pama Intl. For the immediate future we're out promoting the Pama Intl meet Mad Professor-Rewired! In Dub album and tour In Oct'10, plus we've almost got the Pama Intl meet Wrongtom album finished (which will come out in the new year). As a proper chance to say thank you for all your support, we'll be doing a number of shows in Nov and Dec'10, which will see some very special guests appearing in the Pama Intl line up. Dates to be announced very soon, but these and the dates with Mad Professor will be the last Pama Intl perform live, so if you'd like to see the band anytime soon please come along in Oct/Nov/Dec'10. It'd be wonderful to see you!

Not all is gloom as 2011 is set to be busier then ever with our involvement in the relaunch of The London Intl Ska Festival, reformation of The Loafers (featuring Finny & Sean from Pama intl - albeit just for one show), the label stepping up it's release schedule to an album a month and Sean Flowerdew working on 2 new very exciting writing projects.

We'd like to thank everyone that has been part of Pama Intl, or supported us over the last 10 years and hope to see you very soon.

If you are a promoter and would like to book one of Pama Intl last shows in Nov/Dec email sean@pamainternational.co.uk

Pama Intl's Rockers Revolt label signs BABYHEAD

2010-04-16T11:40:00.003+01:00

Rockers Revolt are proud to announce the labels latest signing...
the Bristol machine known as BABYHEAD and the release of the first in a trilogy of singles 'Jungle Lore'.

Born out of love for Jamacian sound clash, forged through a do it yourself punkrock ethic and delivered with a raw hip hop swagger, the unstoppable Babyhead sound is drawn from all quarters of the musical universe, in true Bristol fashion. They have been a live phenomenon in the clubs and on the festival circuit, for a decade plus, rocking stages from Glastonbury to Fabric and attracting onstage collaborations from Ozomatli, Rodney P, Alice Russell, scores of children, transvestites and a three legged one eyed dog!

Keith Allen called them "bastard child of Ian Dury and Iggy pop" while the legendary Toots Hibbert himself proclaimed the band "Irie, despite their beards and suits".

To celebrate the release of Jungle Lore, Babyhead will be throwing not one but two release parties...

Friday 28 May 2010 @ Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, Notting Hill, London
and
Sunday 30 May 2010 @ The Island, Silver Street, Bristol, BS1 2YP

Jungle Lore is the first single to be taken from Babyhead's third and darkest album, 'Heavy Weather', which was recorded in Portishead’s “State Of Art” studio. Due for release in Sept'10 'Heavy Weather' is a soundscape rooted in Dub, heavy skank, thunderdrums, blazing horns and sharp lyricism. It features 13 simple songs from the rural/urban landscape in the first days of a brave new century. It is a personal tale of love, life, politics, sex, death and the greatest British preoccupation - The weather.

Babyhead - Jungle Lore b/w Jungle Law (Lupo dub) (RRHIT705) out on 1st June 2010
will be issued on ltd.edtion 7" vinyl (only 300 hand numbered copies) and digital download
You can preorder the 7" now at http://www.rockersrevolt.com/products-page/genre/babyhead---jungle-lore-7/

Thanks to everyone who came out to our last 3 shows of the year. First time we've played Norwich. What a great crowd and venue. We thoroughly enjoyed our debut there.

The weekend shows in Newcastle and Leeds were even better then expected with both being rammed. Newcastle is one of my favourite cities to play and despite the severe weather warning still sold out.

We're back in Leeds on Feb 19 (at The Well).

Inbetween all the shows we fitted in 2 BBC sessions. The first an acoustic/stripped down affair on Janice Longs show. Very enjoyable.

The second was for Chris Hawkins on BBC6 who was filling in for Cerys Matthews. We were asked sometime ago if we'd be up for doing some 'dub carols'. The day before it became apparent Finny wasn't going to beable to sing! At the 11th hour the incredible Anna Stott from East Park Reggae Collective stepped in and did a fantastic job. Not quite carols, but two Christmas songs were played... 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' on a reggae tip and 'White Christmas' in a ska fashion.

For those of you who missed the sessions you can listen again now at

BBC6 music - Cerys Matthews show w/ Chris Hawkins (Pama start around 1.06)

What a month. 18 sell-out shows supporting The Specials, a BBC London radio session with Robert Elms, a xfm session with John Kennedy, interviews broadcast with both Huey Morgan (BBC6) and Steve Lamacq (Radio 2), plus over 100 radio shows spinning Pama Intl's brand new album Outernational. Press have been equally enthusiastic...

"Pama Intl continue their inexorable rise" **** Mojo

“12 hook-filled tracks, vintage rocksteady spiked with soul... An album of substance” Q magazine

"seamless merging of the classic and the modern" Echoes

"With a sound which acknowledges the glory days of Beverly's and Studio 1 but which sound fresh and relevant today" Record Collector

"the way they continually out do their previous release is so highly impressive" 8/10 Rocksound

"Pama International shines and the album stands one foot above the rest" Riddim Magazine

"It’s inspirational, empowering and moving. The depth of rhythm inhibits your body like a second heartbeat and propels you to get up and move. It shakes you up. It informs and entertains, and acts as a potent social commentary. Incredible stuff." Webcuts

"Booming, deliberate and bruising. Tracks seamlessly ebb into one another, a compendium of instrument imagination" Punktastic

Apologies

2009-12-07T19:48:00.004Z

Apologies for the lack of posts on here. Things have been manic. Just back from 20+ dates supporting 2 Tone legends The Specials. An incredible experience, which rounded off with 3 nights at Hammersmith Odeon.

Our new album is out now. Pama Outernational, which has already picked up airplay from a phenomenal 100+ radio shows, including: BBC Radio 1; Mike Davies, BBC Radio 2; Steve Lamacq, Alex Lester, Janice Long & Bob Harris, BBC6; Craig Charles, Shaun Keavney, Don Letts, Cerys Matthews, Huey Morgan, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins, xfm; John Kennedy, Kiss100; David Rodigan and BBC London; Gary Crowley & Robert Elms. Pama Intl also won BBC6's Rebel Playlist with a staggering 78% of the vote and recorded sessions for Jon Kennedy xfm and Robert Elms BBC London.

Press have been equally as responsive (see below) and this month we picked up a **** review in Mojo....

"Following recent high-profile live dates including spots backing the reformed Specials, Pama Intl continue their inexorable rise with this latest confusingly titled installment. As usual, their reggae and soul message is delivered with finesse, once more aided and abetted by the presence of former Specials Lynval Golding and Sir Horace Panter, with John Collins in the producers chair.

Radio-friendly Happenstance and opener Equality & Justice For All address social ills within the framework of deep roots reggae (each morphing into extended dubs on the CD), while Are We Saved Yet? and I Still Love You More draw heavily on the blueprint of 1960's soul, particularly through the organ riffs of co-founder Sean Flowerdew. repeated spins reveal the subtle nuances that hold it together, channeling well established influences to yield something fresh." **** Mojo

You can buy the album on cd or vinyl at www.rockersrevolt.com, HMV, Play.com, Amazon, Rough Trade, Recordstore.co.uk, and an ever growing number of great independent records shops. More on this later.

Next up, three shows; Norwich Arts Centre (16 Dec), Newcastle Live Theatre (19 Dec) and Leeds Hi Fi club (20 Dec). We're also recording two radio sessions this month; BBC Radio2-Janice Long (17 Dec) and BBC6 music-Cerys Matthews (18 Dec).

Then a well earned rest for Christmas before starting the spring tour. Can't wait. Hope to see you all soon.

Pama Outernational in the press

2009-11-07T08:08:00.000Z

Hi all

Here's a quick round up of the press quotes in. Loads of fantastic press. With more to come. A great spot running on Fred Perry and The Guardian online. Review in Q, with Mojo still to come. At the bottom of all this I've listed more interviews coming up. Loads happening and more to come.

More and more radio coming in everyday. As with the press it's looking great, with sessions to come with Janice Long-Radio2, Robert Elms-BBC London and an interview with Fun Lovin Criminals Huey Morgan on BBC6.

All the best

PAMA OUTERNATIONAL quotes

“Pama Outernational; 12 hook-filled tracks, vintage rocksteady spiked with soul... An album of substance” Q magazine

"Pama Intl's seamless merging of the classic and the modern, makes them one of the most enjoyable UK reggae bands and this album, presents them at their best dressed." Echoes

"Pama Outernational comes across like a house party deejayed by somebody with a very deft touch and an altogether adventurous selection policy – after a couple of tunes you’re not at all sure what you’re going to hear next, but you know enough to trust it implicitly." BBC.CO.UK

"The latest and most consistent release from UK-based reggae heads... classic roots and dub" Straight No Chaser

"With a sound which acknowledges the glory days of Beverly's and Studio 1 but which, with its judicious use of electronic effects and its streetwise lyrics, sound fresh and relevant today" Record Collector

"I'd simply say, it's brilliant." album of the month Scootering magazine

"the way they continually out do their previous release is so highly impressive" 8/10 Rocksound

The new album Pama Outernational was mastered last Tuesday @ John Dents Loud Mastering (the man behind the mastering of Island Rcds classic such as Bob Marley, Lee Perry and one of our all time favourite cuts Junoir Murvin's Police & Thieves.) The 12 track album, billed as "the heavyweight dub sounds of now" runs like this...

1.Equality & Justice For All, 2.Dub A Disco, 3.Are We Saved Yet?, 4.I Still Love You More, 5.Still I Wait, 6.He's More Like His Father, 7.Happenstance, 8.Dub A Dance, 9.Question The Answer, 10.Trade It All For More, 11.What You Do Now and 12.Look Out Your Window.

As the billing would suggest the mainstay of the albums direction is heavyweight dub sounds, but with Stax, Johnny Cash, Ken Parker, The Blockheads, Joe Gibbs & Peter Tosh also inspiring, you can expect a fairly mixed bag. Lynval Golding sings backing vocals throughout and takes lead on Question The Answer, whilst fellow member from The Specials, Sir Horace Panter takes bass duties on Dub A Disco and also Question The Answer.

Pama Intl will be touring it Oct-Dec'09 to promote the album's release. Towns and cities already scheduled include; Manchester, Bristol, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Cardiff, Poole, Derby, Sheffield, Ulverston, Birmingham, Swindon, Nottingham and London. Full tour dates tba shortly. If you'd like to book the band for a show in this period just drop us a line to enquiries@rockersrevolt.com or contact our agent David Farrow @ DMF.

FREE ENTRY - ARRIVE EARLY !

This month Soul Jazz Records launches the first in a series of FREE classic Reggae film screenings as part of the ever popular 100% DYNAMITE parties on Brick Lane. Then after the film the Soul Jazz Sound System will be playing the finest selection of Reggae, Dancehall, Funk, Soul, Old Skool Jungle and Dubstep dance floor killers across two rooms.

Cafe 1001 is a fantastic, laid-back, warehouse style venue right in the heart of East London with loads of outside tables and a brand new Funktion-One sound system. So get there early and bring your friends to the on-going party that is 100% DYNAMITE - we're there every second Sunday of the month.

This Months Official Film Screening:
BABYLON
Directed by Franco Rosso in 1980, Babylon is a raw and incendiary film employing an effective mix of music and social commentary to recount the everyday experiences of a small group of working class black youths living in South London in the early 1980s.

Driven by a musical score composed and arranged by legendary reggae guitarist, former member of Matumbi and record producer Dennis Bovell, with additional songs by Yabby U, I-Roy, Aswad and many more, Babylon is a brilliant, breathlessly energetic, neo-realist snapshot of what it was like to be young, poor and black in early 1980s Britain. The film is rightly regarded as a cult classic and remains as socially relevant today as when it was made almost 30 years ago.

We will be screening a fully restored and digitally re-mastered copy of the film on a huge cinema screen, coupled with a Funktion-One sound system, in the main room at Cafe 1001 at 2pm. This is an amazing chance to catch a classic piece of UK Reggae history in one of the best screening locations in London.

Glastonbury 2009

2009-07-03T08:42:00.007+01:00

Anyone who's been to Glastonbury will know how vast it is. I had high hopes of taking in loads of bands, but alas caught very little. Here's my highlights & lowlights of what I did see at Glastonbury Festival 2009...

Thursday
Being a highly organised music machine Pama Intl arrived on the Thursday night in readiment to open the Dance Stage on Friday. With our arrival the rain came down. Had a wander round site, but didn't really get to see any bands. Went up to see what the powers that be had replaced the superb Leftfield stage with. Oh dear. The Queens Head tent was poor, even with it's £30,000 screens. Why replace the success of a 6000 capacity tent that was Leftfield with a 1000 (?) cap nonsense, where more money has been spent on the screens then anything else? With Q magazine putting their name to it I thought the programming would of been better.

Highlight; Delicous fish and chips
Lowlight; No Leftfield

Friday
I was a bit apprehensive that people would turn out for our Dance Stage performance being at midday, but I needn't have worried. The marquee filled up quickly and everyone warmed nicely to Pama's dub ramblings. What a wonderful crowd. Loved it!

What a difference a bit of sun makes. Off we headed to see what Glasto had to offer. The sun came out and Glasto was transformed into somewhere I enjoyed being. Caught some of V V Brown on the John Peel stage. Wasn't over keen on the music, but what a fantastic voice. Would love to get her on a Pama Intl tune. She is a star for sure. Then onto The White Lies. Really not my bag at all. I was told they had 3 good songs.

Evening rolled round and time for the show I was looking forward to the most...The Specials. With all their fantastic songs it was interesting to see the biggest cheer for their set went to the 3 chord wonder 'Message To You Rudy'. I wonder if the originator of the song Dandy Livingstone
knows what an impact his tune still has today. Great stuff. The Specials set was super tight, although it seemed the electrifying energy you get from their club shows didn't come across at times in a field. Watch their performance on TV (which I've done now) and it comes across much better. Got to be one of the best bands Britain's produced. Can't wait to catch their UK tour in November.

Straight after The Specials we headed to see the legendary Kinks frontman Ray Davies doing an acoustic show. Absolutely fantastic. Best show I has seen in years. He played all the classics... pick of the bunch being; Apeman, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion, All Day & All Of The Night, You Really Got Me, Waterloo Sunset, Shangri-La... they just kept coming. And the crowd, me included lapped it up, singing every word. 3 encores later he finished with Lola. Superb. People were still singing it 10 minutes after they'd left the tent.

I wan't a huge Kinks fan walking into the tent. Can't imagine why now! Definitely off to buy the new Kinks Choral Collection by Ray Daives now.

Highlight; Ray Davies & our Dance Stage show

Saturday
We managed to walk round for hours and saw next to nothing. 3 or 4 songs of Crosby, Stills & Nash, which sadly was very disappointing. I really don't like watching bands on the big stages. To me the sound is always terrible.

Up to Chai Wallehs tent to do our second set of the weekend. Didn't have Ernie McKone on bass for this. He was playing the Motown Revue with Martha Reeves and Jnr.Walkers All-stars elsewhere in the country so he had hightailed off site after our Dance Stage show. In stepped a dep who did very well under the circumstances. The Chai Wallehs crew are a great bunch. We did Sunrise Fest for them back in May, which I have to say was much better then the Glasto experience, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Highlight; the glorious sunshine
Lowlight: the showers were beginning to pack up

Sunday
I got the hell out of dodge. Headed for the train and managed to be home for lunch. Wonderful.
A few of the guys weathered out the Sunday rains. Pick of the bunch for them were Madness and Blur (with a very emotional lead singer).

Highlight; getting home

So there you have it. My 5th time at Glasto. All in all very enjoyable, even if I did seem to spend more time walking round then anything else! Looking forward to 2010, bring back Leftfield! If you get the chance to go see Ray Daives grab it with both hands!
