This looks like it could be really good.
The history of Bristol’s reggae sound systems is the focus of a new exhibition opening at Colston Hall next month. Curated by Mandeep Samra and Clarks in Jamaica author Al ‘Fingers’ Newman, the display aims to shed light on a part of UK history that “has meant so much to so many people, yet has been largely overlooked by mainstream historians,” they say.

Live from Vegfest (only in Bristol I imagine) … Black Roots.
Fascinating. I’d definitely want to visit that if I was in Bristol.
*reminisces fondly, remembering nights in The Dockland Settlement, in the Inkworks, and at various backstreet Blues, standing in rooms with walls of loudspeakers, nodding and swaying to Jamaican dubplates being played at stupendous sound levels*
Any excuse:
