Pama @ Larmer Tree

Have to say Larmer Tree festival, which we played last Friday, is one of the best UK festivals I've been to. Brilliantly organised and layed out in the wonderful Larmer Tree Gardens. If you get the chance to get tickets for this next year grab them.

Here's some footage for our performance.
Pama International - Throwaway Society




''''''''''''"''''''''''''''"''"""''''''''''''''''''''''''''''"""""''''"''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''""'''""""''''''''''''''''

For you viewing pleasure... BURNING SPEAR

The mighty Burning Spear, rehearsing his classic Slavery Days. Fantastic stuff. I hope he brings the band to the UK sometime soon!

100% DYNAMITE THIS SUNDAY





REGGAE - DANCEHALL - DUBSTEP - JUNGLE - SOUL - FUNK
+ an exclusive screening of seminal British Reggae film BABYLON

SUNDAY 12TH JULY
CAFE 1001, TRUMAN BREWERY, 91 BRICK LANE, E1
2PM - 11PM (SCREENING 2.30)
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. This event is totally FREE so please arrive early to ensure you get a space on the sofas.


all happening at
CAFE 1001

My Favourite New Label

Two albums I haven't been able to get off the stereo since buying them both come from the rather marvelous Pressure Sounds, who seem to have the knack of unearthing some of the best reggae albums from yesteryear at will

Check these two gorgeous releases out





JOE HIGGS - LIFE OF CONTRADICTIONS
Billed as "one of the most seminal reggae records of all time" and it's hard to argue the point. Fantastic songwriting, truly walking it's own path. Fantastic playing, with Earl Wire Lindo, Mikey Chung, Val Douglas and of course Joe Higgs himself. Originally licensed to Chris Blackwell, then released in 1975 by Joe Higgs and now brought to you by my new favourite label Pressure Sounds.

Check it out here





JIMMY RADWAY - DUB I
Again, brought to you by Pressure Sounds... "one of the hardest dub albums ever released"
Errol Thompson's mixing is sublime. Real heavyweight dub sounds and killer tunes. Pressure Sounds have unearthed a real gem here. Only 300 copies were pressed on it's origin release. As with the Joe Higgs album you can hear a couple of tracks on the Pressure Sounds site. Link below.

Check it out here


If these two albums are anything to go by Pressure Sounds really are a label to be reckoned with. I, for one, will be checking out their entire catalogue, which includes classic reissues from; King Tubby, Tommy McCook, Keith Hudson, The Revolutionaries, Sly and Robbie, The Wailing Souls and loads more.

For more info on all this go to Pressure Sounds website

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. Thought I'd give this ago, and share with you my love of reggae, soul, dub, ska... well music in general and the latest happening with my band, Pama International and record label Rockers Revolt.

For those of you who don't know me... I play keyboards in Pama Intl and have been playing in ska bands since I was a kid... starting with 'The Loafers', then 'Special Beat' (with Ranking Roger-The Beat, Neville, Brad, Horace and Lynval-all from The Specials and Finny-now in Pama Intl with me) and the shortlived 'Skanga'

I've run labels since I was 17 including; Staccato Records (home to The Loafers, Maroon Town & more), Jamdown Records (home to releases from; Pama Intl, Stubborn All-stars, 4ft Fingers, Laurel Aitken, Bim Skala Bim, Capone & The Bullets & more) and now Rockers Revolt

To date RR has released; Pama Intl, The Slackers, The Pietasters, Ed Rome and No1 Station.
