I was going through the backing bands on Roots Archives looking at the Roots Radics , check out how many they backed, it’s amazing, also came across this

Funnily enough, I'm just half way through writing a 'join my band' advert to form a Reggae backing band.

 

I figured other than Pama International, Upper Cut Band,  Friendly Fire Band I'm not aware of other active UK ones - and none on the South coast. 

 

I suppose it is because there isn't the market for it but I like the idea of a Roots Radics style band that supports different vocalists.

 

It probably is ambitious for the limited Portsmouth/Chichester/Brighton reggae scene though!

Brighton could work quite well, and Barefaced are only a few yards away, maybe Alex could give some input ?

I’ve been going through quite a bit of Marlon Asher lately, can’t say I like it all but he’s got some really good tracks, here’s a few I saved

Ah @Reggaebass, some Marlon Asher from my neck of the woods 😜 and fitting for Dancehall Friday!

This song is what launched him onto the scene back in the day, the whole country was vibin to this in fetes, radio, everywhere. Good memories...
