Adrian Sherwood and On-U Sound System Showcase

A stage full of dub reggae, roots and 21st Century blue.

Adrian Sherwood's love affair with Jamaican music began back in the late '60s when, as a child, he would hang around outside a local West Indian club with a school friend, dancing on the pavement to the ska sounds of Prince Buster.

It was the start of a lifelong association for the dub mixer/producer, whose On-U Sound label has produced and/or remixed some of the planet's most innovative recordings. Adrian will be bringing a hand-picked line-up and guests will include a mystery reggae and dub legend and Little Axe aka Skip McDonald, former guitarist in The Sugarhill Gang. All of them have made some of the most adventurous and praised music of the last 20 years.
