One of the best shows I've been was The Skatalites in the mid 90s at Ronny Scotts in Birmingham... with Roland Alphonso and Tommy McCook still in the band. As you say 4D... legend

Again there will only be 200 tickets available. Big Things happening!!

Yes- thats a line-up ..... haven't seen Mistah Brown (or any of the tighten Up crew) for yonks. Dunno if they're playing 'longside Gladdy Wax at carnival).

Reckon there's a good chance big names from Jamaica will be passing through also .... like Dennis Alcapone for instance :-)
