The Rootsman & Inspirational Sounds represent Bradford, carrying the city's great dub tradition (dub mi crazy!) forward in a 21st century style. Their 2018 EP Up North has 6 tracks all named after legendary 20th century West Indian venues & landmarks in town & the old 'frontline', ie. the Palm Cove Club, Checkpoint community centre, the Sugar Cane Club, the Young Lions cafe, Green Lane & the Perseverance (aka Percy - the once infamous frontline pub).

Ijahman Levi emerged in 1976 with the Carry Jah Heavy Load & Jah Is No Secret singles, originally released on UK label Concrete Jungle before getting signed to Island in 1978 to international acclaim. Highly authentic & epic songs, deeply spiritual & personal self productions. Other true pioneers, Vaugh & Ron Benjamin & Midnite blazed onto the scene in the late 1990's with a completely new approach to roots reggae, both musical & lyrical. Vaughn reformed the group in 2015 as Akae Beka after Ron stepped back from touring. Vaughn must be one of reggae's most recorded album artists with literally countless albums of fresh songs (and there is more still to surface). Revered by many as a prophet & visionary its almost as though he was in a rush to get his messages out before his untimely passing at only 50 in 2020. He surely left us much to absorb & ponder over the coming years... I-Wayne made a massive impact when he hit the airwaves in 2004, especially in Jamaica where he continuous to perform to appreciative crowds. Songs like Life Seed, Living In Love & Lava Ground are deeply grounded nu-roots classics. Sadly he is under-recorded with only a handful of singles & 4 LPs & to his name, the last in 2012. Bunny Wailer was of course around right from the start, the mid-60's ska & R&B period, and remained active until only a few years ago - a stellar career stretching well over 50 years. Outspoken, controversial & somewhat reclusive Bunny was a true living legend in every sense.

Vaughn Benjamin Propaganda Live

Devastating news

Vaughn Benjamin of Midnite & Akae Baka passed away suddenly a couple of days ago aged 50 amid plans for a tour next year.

A true original, Midnite gained a huge international following with their particular brand of deep roots reggae. Charasmatic, enigmatic, mysterious and at times hypnotic Benjamin's music really struck a chord while his uncompromisingly conscious lyrics often require serious listening to fully digest his messages. But it is the Benjamin brother's melodic chanting that really pulled people in. Its a real shame that he never got to perforn here in the UK.

Vaughn has left us an amazing legacy. With an astounding 72 albums since 1989 there is plenty for us to absorb in the years ahead. Rest in power bredren.
