Reggae Uprising hits Town

Organisers of what is billed as the 'Reggae Event of the Year' had a hard time choosing their headliner from the four names that kept on popping up during their research - so they booked all of them!

Legendary singers Freddy Mcgregor, Barrington Levy, Cocoa Tea & Stevie Face will be performing at Uprising, an exclusive Festival that aims to celebrate reggaes' rich and diverse contribution to world music.

With artists whose names stand forever in reggaes great history and who have decades of timeless anthems to their credit, the night is guaranteed to render hundreds of fans voiceless from singing, screaming and partaking in what will be a night to be remembered for years to come.

The first three are iconic reggae ambassadors; Freddy McGregor ("Big Ship" "Push Comes To Shove" "I Was Born A Winner" "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely") is an internationally acclaimed, Grammy nominated singer, Songwriter. Barrington Levy ("Murderer", "She's Mine", "To Experienced") has not performed in UK for over a decade, though the UK remains dear to his heart, having scored two chart topping hits in the 80's "Under Mi Sensi" and "Here I come".

Cocoa Tea ("Rikers Island", "Lost My Sonia", "Tune In", "Good Life", "Rocking Dolly") has been churning out hits for years and his cool toned, laid back vocals always make him a favourite with reggae fans worldwide.

Last, but not least, is Stevie Face ("In the living years"). Lauded as the hottest new sensation since his award winning album "Tell it like it is' was released last year, everyone has been waiting for him to perform.

Hosted by Levi Roots (Dragon's Den, Reggae Reggae Sauce) and a singer himself, Uprising, headlined by the fabulous four, are set to perform in front of thousands of fans on Saturday 19th June 2010 at the world famous O2 Brixton Academy, Stockwell Road, London SW9. Tickets: £35 standing / £40 seated. All tickets are subject to a booking fee available from www.ticketweb.co.uk and the 24 Hour Hotline: 08444 771 000. Info: www.uprisingmusicfestival.com

HUNK PAPA PRESENTS PURE REGGAE
Pure Reggae is back again with its weekly session! Tonight the Hunk Papa Tribe pays tribute to the architects, pioneers and new ambassadors of reggae music while also providing an outlet for aspiring British Reggae artists to showcase their latest dub plates. Launched in February 2004 and running at Brixton Telegraph for three years before relocating to Jamm, Pure Reggae has quickly established itself as part of the burgeoning British Reggae club scene, attracting an eclectic following of over 400 people on a weekly basis. It’s changing days and locations, but not philosophy it’s all about the “Positive Vibrations”. People wouldn’t keep coming back the way they do without the comfortable, barriers-down atmosphere – there’s true Brixton grit to the night but attitudes are left at the door and differences are put aside by a crowd that’s just there for the dance. Venue: Jamm, 261Brixton Road, London SW9 6LH. 9pm-2.30am. Adm: £3, Free before 10pm. Info: 020 7274 5537
