Legends of Reggae UK Tour @ The Tramshed, Cardiff

“De baba men no like de dreadlocks man/De dreadlocks man no like de baba men, no?”

IF you’re going to name your tour Legends of Reggae it’s only fair they should perform in venues suitable for the billing.

Max Romeo

Cardiff’s best small venues have played host to some legendary reggae figures, especially in recent years, but a line up featuring Max Romeo, Eek A Mouse and Big Youth (not to mention the Mighty Diamonds whose appearance was cancelled at the last-minute) deserves a bigger stage.

Mykal Rose @ The Globe, Cardiff

“Guess who’s coming to dinner, Natty Dreadlock”

MYKAL ROSE created history with his former Black Uhuru band mates when, in 1984, they won reggae’s first Grammy award for the album Anthem.

The legacy is the singer is often referred to with ‘Grammy’ inserted as a middle name and his current UK tour is billed as Sounds of Black Uhuru 1977-1985.
