Gregory Isaacs R.I.P.

On the 25th October, Gregory Isaacs sadly passed away leaving a huge heritage of tunes. As one of the biggest legends, the  “Cool Ruler” has too many hits to mention, and Jam Jah Mondays only played a very small selection as a tribute on the same night.

15/10/09 The Uplifter meets Friendly Fire Crew

Every third Friday of the month, the Friendly Fire Sessions is the only regular live reggae link up in Brum.

This Month, Friendly Fire Sessions proudly present:

THE UPLIFTER

The Uplifter was first introduced to Friendly Fire at Shambala’s Roots Yard
2009 when he performed an exceptional set of heavy dub, roots, ska and
dancehall with live drums and a truly positive vibe. Since then, The
Uplifter has also performed as part of the dub to dubstep
tour alongside Channel One and RSD, performed with Pablo Rider, and has
built a solid reputation on the reggae circuit. Expect a musical
repertoire of positive vibrations and highly energetic atmospheres,
with the live percussion bringing a refreshing and freely expressive
element to the performance.

This is the first time in Birmingham
that you will be able to witness The Uplifter, alongside the Jam Jah
Sound and the Friendly Fire Family for a semi-live heavy-weight
extravaganza.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted any Jam Jah Mondays, due to a busy summer we just had – back on the case now! This recording was made on the 20th Sept 2010, and we were blessed with the presence of STERO LION all the way from Denver, USA, and the lovely Yaz Alexander, one of Brum’s hottest reggae artists, alongside Pablo Rider, Wisdom, Triggernometry…

Big respect goes out to all the crew who came down and shared some international vibes which prove that reggae is Universal!

Special Respect to Ranking Roger who was in the building!
