Jibbering Presents: Horace Andy and Ashley Beedle Live

horace_hare.jpg

JIBBERING presents:

HORACE ANDY + ASHLEY BEEDLE LIVE

Do not miss this chance to catch two living legends in a high quality and intimate venue!

HORACE ANDY is perhaps most widely known for his vocal work with Bristol hit making heroes Massive Attack. His pedigree, though, goes much further back to 1970's Jamaica. His soulful roots reggae recordings are legendary including such classics as "Money Money," "Skylarking" and "You Are My Angel."

ASHLEY BEEDLE is known for his 4/4 remixes but reggae has formed a crucial part of his musical DNA since his early days running the North London Shock sound system back in the ‘80s.

Both artists are on the road to promote their new collaboration album on Strut records, part of their 'Inspiration Information' series. On the album Beedle draws on all of his diverse musical influences to create a collection of fresh roots fusions, ranging from dancehall to dubstep. The tracks are stripped back, heavy and dancefloor vibes, allowing Horace’s voice to shine.

 

SUPPORT DJS:

Adam Regan (Leftfoot)

Tangiwizi (Jibbering)

Robin Don (Jam Jah) 

 

Don't miss your chance to see this great show, live and up close , in a quality intimate venue in Birmingham.

Friendly Fire Sessions present CAPITAL LETTERS

capital_letters.jpgEvery third friday of the month, Friendly Fire Sessions present the best in established and up and coming live reggae acts from around the UK.

This Month:

CAPITAL LETTERS:

Capital Letters is a legendary 8-piece UK roots band formed in the late 70's in Wolverhampton. As one of the first bands to be ever signed by Greensleeves, they hit UK soundsystem's bass scoops hard with their first hit single Smoking my Ganja which to this day remains a very sought after 12”. Following their performance on John Peel's show, they recorded a critically acclaimed full length album Headline News in '79, which was re-released in 2007 and is still one of Greensleeve's top sellers. The 20th March 2009 will be marked as a crucial date in UK reggae history when, 30 years later, Capital Letters finally re-form for good on the stage of the Friendly Fire Sessions.

As his first Friendly Fire produced singles and his new album are being finalized, we are proud to welcome the godfather DADDY FREDDY for a Live PA on the Jam Jah Sound, supported by the full Friendly Fire Crew for an up-tempo cross-genre mashup session.

On Thursday night (04/09/07), Friendly Fire blazed a trail out of town spreading the message of Jam Jah Sound to Kidderminster.

Hosted by Reggae Fest making its debut at the plush new venue, the ten-cafe bar, the night was a great success. Jam Jah kicked of proceedings, followed by a local band playing some Reggae grooves, before an impromptu live jam featuring  Lionart, and guest singer Cynical, backed by Friendly Fire regulars Damo (drums) and Robin (guitar) and guest basist. The performance got the place on its collective feet, reaching its peak with Lionart’s outstanding Nyabinghi, before Jam Jah pumped up the volume with a jump-up set!   

 

Thanks to all who came down from Brum and all the local Kidderminster crew and musicians.

The first Friendly Fire session of 2007 was surprisingly busy, thanks to everyone who supported the event and danced til the morning. Equally surprising was the performance by the Myers who was ill and decided to do a straight hip-hop set instead of the reggae crossover we had planned, as Paradox was too ill to perform by is side. He still pulled off some nice tunes in combination with Messenger Douglas who complemeted him nicely. Big shout out goes to Messenger Douglas for coming down at such short notice. 

 

The rest of the night had the Bongo Damo and Robin running the Jam Jah Sound hot, although missing one member, keir, who was also unable to attend.
  

Big respect to Keith from the original Jah Tubbys Soundsystem who came down from London to check out the Jam Jah vibe.

 

Next event will be on the 9th feb (check events)

Friday night down the unit, after the Bull's Head, was an amazing night, and a world of unexpected guests joined in with the Jam Jah and Ranking roger soundsystem.

 

After a revival warm up set by Double H and Ranking Roger, I jumped in and was joined by first by Paradox on the mic, and the vibe was so nice that it turned out into a vocal showdown including the legendary Ranking Roger. Pablo (Paradox's lyrical mentor), Juggla, Andre, Lionart and Dread I who we had just met in a dumpling shop a couple of nights before. Overall, it was fantastic to see so much talent gathered in one place.

 

Ranking Roger also played some of his exclusive heavy weight dub from the Ranking Roger studio that shook the place up and showed off the bass of the Jam Jah Sound. 

 

Thanks to everyone who made it down, and made it so good and see you for the next session on the 23rd feb!

After a warm up by the Jam Jah, Messenger Douglas Douglas played the first set with a heavy roots riddim collection by alphamix with his usual lyrical and vocal talent. Second up was Mr. Cantakerous that came with a lively dancehall set with nuff crowd participation with his "Mission" lyrics.

Ras-T-weed was in the crowd and jumped in for some freestyle action in the Jam Jah mix. Guest DJ for the occasion was Double H who selected a deep duby set with Robin at the controls in the early hours of the morning, which went down a treat on the Jam Jah System.

Thanks to Roots Fella for making it down from Sheffield and playing a killer set, with nuff exclusives. I have to salute the Roots Manuva dubplate "Witness the Fitness" that ended the set - deadly!

What a night! Ras T Weed and Messenger Douglas truly mashed up the dance backed by the friendly fire band with a very heavy set engineered by Jaffa, from Crucial Music.

Unfortunately, some technical difficulty means we were unable to record the event properly - the only ting we have to show is a few lo-fi videos taken with a stills camera, wich explains the quality of the recording. Thanks to everyone who contributed with the "filming"....
