Events on Saturday 9th August

“Troy Ellis son of the legendary rocksteady reggae artist, Alton Ellis OD, started out as a child street performer in Born in Trench Town, Kingston, Jamaica. Having performed at Colston Hall and across the world, Troy and the band now perform many reworks of classic rustic reggae tunes that are guaranteed to get you dancing.”

“They just want you to dance, you know, so they'll give you almost anything you want, beatwise, from chirpy Afropop to bleeping electrodisco and raunchy urban funk grooves topped by sassy theatrical vocals with a distant echo from the Pet Shop. It's a silver-tongued persuasion and you won't want to resist.”

“Famed as leader of Universal Rockers the eponymous Uri brought a big reputation with him when he moved from Barcelona to the UK but the title of Hot Seeds' debut waxing'Made In Bristol' gives no clue to the unusual pairing of conscious reggae rhythms to Iberian lyrics that figures amongst their original repertoire.”
From: Uri Green & The Seeds

“We'll also have a BBQ, serving everyones favourite: Jerk chicken, lamb & veggie alternatives too! We'll also have some authentic Jamaican drinks, including fresh coconuts with shots of rum inside, fresh watermelon & more refreshing delicious treats!”
