Advance tickets sold out - more on the door. It a pleasure and honour to welcome first time at the Kuumba Centre the well established deep Roots sound system from London known as Channel One with Mikey Dread at the controls and Ras Kayleb on the Mic..chuh! niceness. They been playing high quality and spiritual uplifting Reggae Roots music for over 40 years or more. We waited long enough to bring Channel One to Kuumba Centre home to many Bristol sound systems plus the new age ones. Given the Roots music history of Kuumba Centre we know Channel One will drop some deep conscious and hot Steppas music for all in attendance. The venue capacity is 350 so where possible please get an advance ticket to guarantee entry.
