All Reggae fans (or just music fans in general) should listen to these guys. Really great collective of musicians with one of the coolest and unique sounds in the world.

check out the London international Ska festival site, plenty of British bands appear at that every year. This year for example, there'll be Top Cats who play the original ska style and Dirty Revolution who play a more modern style

I'm looking for Protoje's 'The 8 Year Affair' (on Don Corleon Records) album but can't find it on CD anywhere, just the MP3 version. Anyone know of any UK music stores which might stock it? Cheers.

If you like more electronica dub reggae gotta check out Dr 8 bit, this stuff its so trippy. Picture if Super Mario and the toads made a reggae group this is probably what it would sound like.

Question ska & reggae night any recommendations?

I am hosting a ska and reggae night in four weeks time, I am a dj but normally play trance I have always been into the two tone side of ska and commercial reggae. Anyone got any recommendations of other type's of ska and reggae they think would go down well? The night is in the uk and in an east coast bar.

Cheers...

Even if you aren't a big reggae fan, everyone can jam to Augustus Pablo. One of the all time greats in dub and a pioneer for the melodica.
