Is Ziggy Marley any good live? He's got a gig coming up and I like his recorded stuff but I'm not really a huge fan tbh.

yeah, he's OK. There's better (like three of his brothers ), but he's far from dreadful.

(I've seen him 3 times I think).

Ah cheers, if he's shit on the night I'll blame you tho.

Mr Z.Marley plus posse have just come through work on their way to the Brixton gig tonight.

All extremely polite and well mannered and a pleasure to deal with.

Wish I could say the same for all entourages.

He is not playing "Glastonbridge" he replied when asked.

As far as i know, Ziggy's never done Glasto.

I got an email yesterday about his new album, and now you've posted this I'm going to have to go and buy it. The Ziggy albums I've got/heard are OK - nothing particularly fantastic, but definitely OK.

Style Scott has reportedly been murdered in Jamaica. There's not a lot of information out there at the moment but it will be very sad news if true. For me possibly the greatest drummer in reggae.

[eFestivals]

And now John Holt has died.

I had the pleasure of seeing him two months ago, tho he collapsed on-stage mid-set so I didn't get to enjoy it to the full.

I did get some lovely photos tho.

Play this one loud.....

[eFestivals]

or even better, a youtube playlist of 25 songs .... that's my listening sorted for the next couple of hours.

I'm gutted.

[eFestivals]

As far as I've been able to find out, that was his last ever show at One Love. I'm so so glad I got the chance to see him.

Saw John Holt many years ago. Sad news a great voice.

Paragons are a love I have had since being 15

Shall be on the playlist tomorrow

Surprised they are playing London again so soon - I saw them at the Brooklyn Bowl (Greenwich) in August. Very enjoyable too.

new British reggae is coming thru strong at the moment, particularly via Prince Fatty.

I'm loving 'The Kingdom Of Dub' by Prince Fatty Meets Nostalgia 7, and I've just discovered that Horseman has an album about to be released, called 'Dawn of the Dread' which I've just ordered.

Caught him on the Reggae Stage at Bestival this year, was heading back to my tent and just went over out of curiosity...stayed until the end of his set, Was ace!

[eFestivals]

the albums Fatty's produced for Holly Cook are very good - definitely worth checking out.

Steel Pulse are playing 'Handsworth Revolution' in full as their London Ska Festival Show on 4th April.

I'll be there, because I'd been thinking it can't get better than that, but it just has.

My missus has just told me that she's seen on facewipe that support will be from Dennis Bovell with his Dub Band ... which makes it heaven for me.

[5co77ie]
