Pama Intl to co-host Leftfield at Glastonbury

PRESS RELEASE

LEFT FIELD GLASTONBURY ANNOUNCES THURSDAY LINE UP


It's official....Pama Intl are once again performing at the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury this year.   After last years show stopping performance Pama Intl have not only been asked back but they've been asked to co-host the stage for the Thursday evening as part of Leftfield's 'Anti-slavery night'.

As part of the programme, Pama Intl will be bringing their label mates along; The Pietasters (from Washington DC, the band that backed James Brown), The Slackers ("Americas premiere interpreters of Jamaican music") and Scotland's No.1 sound system Mungos Hi Fi.  All four acts will have new albums out on Pama Intl's Rockers Revolt label (dist.by Universal).

Geoff Martin, Left Field Director, said:
“We will be getting the party started on the Thursday morning with some very special guest DJ’s and PA’s alongside our house band The Krak before we move in to our famous Thursday Latin American fiesta which will get people moving.

We are delighted to be hosting the finest young talent from Liverpool in our “Glastonbury vs The Capital of Culture” segment and then it’s a full on ska/reggae spectacular hosted by our good friends from Pama International before the Levellers top things off with a set for Anti Slavery International.”

From Glastonbury the four band package will be hitting the road for a 9 date UK tour under the banner of "Reggae For The People" for what promises to be "the finest ska, rocksteady and dub tour ever."  Each night promises a nonstop exploration of the best ska, rocksteady, reggae and dub in the world today, kicking off from the minute doors open with the superb Mungos Hi Fi (before, during and after each live act), followed by an unbeatable live bill. To conicide with the tour, Rockers Revolt (dist.by Universal) are releasing new albums by all four acts.

The Pietasters haven't really done much in this country for years....and Glastonbury weren't really aware of them.  We were lucky enough to be able to programme the stage a bit so invited Pietasters, Slackers, Mungos Hi Fi and Don Letts along to join us (Pama intl).

The'tasters have got a great slot though.  Kicking off the evening section in fine style!

Indeed! So what's your involvment Jamdown?
