One of Britain’s most influential and original voices – ONLY UK SHOW FOR 2004
LINTON KWESI JOHNSON & THE DENNIS BOVELL DUB BAND
Pama International & DJ DAVID RODIGAN
LKJ is a reggae phenomenon. The world’s first reggae poet, whose cutting social commentary is still unrivalled 25 years after his debut. Add to this The Dennis Bovell Dub Band, one of the best reggae acts period, and it’s easy to see why LKJ is such an inspirational figure in reggae. July he released his first ever DVD, LKJ Live in Paris with the Dennis Bovell Dub Band, celebrating 25 years recording. Now, they’ll perform their only UK gig of 2004, giving British audiences a rare chance to see why Touch Magazine named the accompanying LKJ Live in Paris CD Reggae Album of the Month.
Selecting the evenings soundtrack is David Rodigan, who’s been THE leading voice in reggae broadcasting for 25 years. Whether hosting his Kiss100 show, his residency at Mass in Brixton or touring the globe he remains as passionate as ever.
Pama International; a soul-induced rocksteady & dub sensation that boast members from The Specials, Galliano, Andy Hamilton band & Push. They’ve released two acclaimed albums, recorded a Radio One Session, sold-out tours of Italy, Switzerland & UK, played a triumphant set at Glastonbury‘04 & signed deals in USA, Germany, France, Italy & Spain. Here promoting their new album “Float Like A Butterfly”, produced by Victor Rice (Easy All-stars, responsible for ‘Dub Side of The Moon’) with The Specials’ Lynval Golding on guitar & Madness’ Lee Thompson on sax.

THE LONDON INTERNATIONAL SKA FESTIVAL 4
starring the legendary JA & Specials trombonist
RICO RODRIGUEZ
Pama International, The Pietasters (USA), DJ Jerry Dammers, The Supatones & Catch It Kebabs
Alongside Don Drummond, Rico is the most notable trombonist to come out of Jamaica. From the late '50s he sessioned for virtually every major producer in Jamaica before moving to the UK. He made a huge impact on the British Soul scene playing with Georgie Fame. Through 70s-80s he recorded some all-time classic albums; Man From Wareika on Island Rcds, That Man Is Forward and Jama on 2 Tone all receiving critical acclaim. He’s a living legend who’s performed alongside Sly & Robbie, Ansel Collins, LKJ, and now Jools Holland’s Big Band, although it is his work with The Specials that he’s best known for.
Also on the evenings bill; Pama Int, soul-stomping skasters The Pietasters (from USA) who’s last visit in the UK saw them play to over 60,000 in 5 weeks on the Less Than Jake tour. Opening the festival are two of the UK’s brightest hopes; The Supatones (female fronted skapunk troupe) & Catch It Kebabs (9 piece swing/skacore) who are sure to get the place jumping from the outset. Lastly, in the 25th year of 2 Tone Rcds/The Specials we’ve got the founder himself DJing- Jerry Dammers.
