A gig held at LEFTBANK on Saturday 1st December. The event starts at 20:00.
For our next Tropical Tea Party we welcome the champion Dub-Reggae producers Chief Rockas Collective, contemporary world music pioneer Tom Excell (of Nubiyan Twist), our tropical beatsmith DJ Hiphoppapotamus and vintage remix selectah Fizzy Gillespie!
As per usual we'll be transforming the LeftBank Bristol into a tropical paradise with our beloved decor and laying on the leis, limbo and GOOD VIBES!
A little something about the DJs....
Chief Rockas Collective - Pioneers of a rootsy, but fat and fresh Reggae-Dub sound their productions are 2nd to none. Any avid dub listeners or selectors have likely heard or dropped their Supercat dubplate amongst their many other unreleased gems as well as their latest release on their own JUST-IS Records label. With the main men hailing from Norfolk and Leeds this is a rare appearance for them in Bristol so best bring your skanking shoes and make the most of it!
