A gig held at The Jam Jar on Thursday 14th May. The event starts at 20:00.


Known for a genre-jumping yet cohesive fusion of roots reggae, dub, soul and hip hop, The Hempolics are a close-knit family celebrating love, connection, and social commentary.

Infectious rhythms, rich harmonies, and emotive lyrics create a fresh, rootsy sound with catchy melodies and socially conscious lyrics, fronted by producer Grippa Laybourne and vocalists Nubiya and Dandelion.
