Dear friends,
we are still looking for summer (and also autumn) dates for the following artists:
Junior got his initial inspiration from a tough upbringing in West Kingston's notorious Waterhouse district. It was there in the politically turbulent mid-'70's that he recorded his first-ever single "Know Myself" at the age of 14 for the late Hugh Mundell, released in the U.K. by Greensleeves. With his incisive, prophetic lyrics and unstinting support for the ghettoman cause, Junior Reid remains until today a roots artist of great power while maintaining an already burgeoning international reputation.
