The band line up consists of six musicians. The Mckone brothers; James & Ben on drum & bass. Field Marshal Fred on lead vocals alongside the vibes controller, The Minister. On guitar is Joe Price and the keyboards, Sam Ross. Without any managerial backing, GR have built up a strong and loyal fan base over the last four years, putting on trademark high energy live shows that have proved to get anyone and everyone up on their feet moving and grooving. From Glastonbury to Germany, General Roots have been showcasing their homegrown approach to Dub, Lover's Rock & Roots reggae all over the world. The band have played pubs, clubs, theatres, arenas & festivals of all shapes and sizes in countries such as France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Switzerland. 'The First Attack' EP was independently produced & released in 2013 and went straight to No.2 in the UK iTunes Reggae Album chart for a week, sitting behind the highest selling reggae album of all time - Bob Marley & The Wailers 'Legend'. Following on from the successful start of things, GR worked alongside legendary UK reggae producer, composer & musician Dennis Bovell (Aswad/Hollie Cook/Joss Stone) to record two singles. Entrusting the help of producer Prince Fatty (Lily Allen/The Skints/A Tribe Called Quest) 'Sufferer' and 'Special' proved to be the best sounding material they had recorded yet, incorporating the vintage sound of analogue effects heard on so many classic Jamaican recordings of the past, whilst remaining original, fresh and catchy. Through sheer graft the band have only been getting better along the way, earning support slots with artists such as Ziggy Marley, Madness, Gentleman's Dub Club, Hollie Cook, The Skints and Protoje to name a few. 2016 is the year for General Roots to cover even more distance. An 11 track debut album independently produced will come to light, featuring some extra special guest appearances from some of the UK's finest reggae artists such as Hollie Cook, Top Cat & the legendary Horseman. The deep bass driven roots sound to sweet lovers rock, the bouncing dancehall to heavy dub, the debut album is the benchmark General Roots want to set. “One of the most exciting & Malleable reggae acts in the UK. General Roots blend Dub & Roots into something fresh, exciting and sexy in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable and dirty.” – FESTIVALBABY.COM “The product of tomorrow. These young gentleman are of the highest quality. They have risen to the rank of General.” – DENNIS BOVELL “Sounds like back in the day!

    Linton Kwesi Johnson: Poetry Down a Reggae Wire

    LINTON KWESI JOHNSON: POETRY DOWN A REGGAE WIRE by Robert J. Stewart for "Poetry, Motion, and Praxis: Caribbean Writers" panel XVllth Annual Conference CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION St. George's, Grenada 26-29 May, 1992 LINTON KWESI JOHNSON: POETRY DOWN fl RE66flE WIRE Linton Kwesi Johnson had been writing seriously for about four years when his first published poem appeared in 1973. There had been nothing particularly propitious in his experience up to then to indicate that within a relatively short period of time he would become an internationally recognized writer and performer. Now, at thirty-nine years of age, he has published four books of poetry, has recorded seven collections of his poems set to music, and has appeared in public readings and performances of his work in at least twenty-one countries outside of England. He has also pursued a parallel career as a political activist and journalist. Johnson was born in Chapelton in the parish of Clarendon on the island of Jamaica in August 1952. His parents had moved down from the mountains to try for a financially better life in the town. They moved to Kingston when Johnson was about seven years old, leaving him with his grandmother at Sandy River, at the foot of the Bull Head Mountains. He was moved from Chapelton All-Age School to Staceyville All-Age, near Sandy River. His mother soon left Kingston for England, and in 1963, at the age of eleven, Linton emigrated to join her on Acre Lane in Brixton, South London.1 The images of black and white Britain immediately impressed young Johnson.
  • The Performance of Accents in the Work of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lemn Sissay

    The Performance of Accents in the Work of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lemn Sissay

    Thamyris/Intersecting No. 14 (2007) 51-68 “Here to Stay”: The Performance of Accents in the Work of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lemn Sissay Cornelia Gräbner Introduction In his study Accented Cinema, Hamid Naficy uses the term “accent” to designate a new cinematic genre. This genre, which includes diasporic, ethnic and exilic films, is char- acterized by a specific “accented” style. In his analysis of “accented style,” Naficy broad- ens the term “accent” to refer not only to speech but also to “the film’s deep structure: its narrative visual style, characters, subject matter, theme, and plot” (Naficy 23). Thus, the term “accent” describes an audible characteristic of speech but can also be applied to describe many characteristics of artistic products that originate in a par- ticular community. “Accented films” reflect the dislocation of their authors through migration or exile. According to Naficy, the filmmakers operate “in the interstices of cultures and film practices” (4). Thus, Naficy argues, “accented films are interstitial because they are created astride and in the interstices of social formations and cinematic practices” (4). Naficy’s use of the term interstice refers back to Homi Bhabha, who argues that cultural change originates in the interstices between different cultures. Interstices are the result of “the overlap and displacement of domains of difference” (Bhabha 2). In the interstice, “social differences are not simply given to experience through an already authenticated cultural tradition” (3). Thus, the development of alternative styles and models of cultures, and the questioning of the cultures that dominate the space outside the interstice is encouraged.

Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020.

Born in Barbados, Bovell moved to south London at the age of 12 and by his late teens had started a musical trajectory that profoundly influenced Britain’s emerging roots, lovers rock, soundsystem and dub cultures. As a musician, songwriter and producer, Bovell spearheaded the seminal British reggae acts Linton Kwesi Johnson and Matumbi and was notably involved in the late 70’s UK punk/post-punk scene as the producer for The Slits, The Pop Group and Orange Juice. Dennis has also worked with Marvin Gaye, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Fela Kuti and most recently Joss Stone. “Dub 4 Daze” deeply mines Bovell’s inspired catalog of rhythms and sounds. Dennis describes the material as: “a collection of different dub mixes I found buried in my archive, and a few newly mixed cuts, done after re-exploring some earlier recorded material. I baked some 2" masters, transferred them to digital and mixed them using an analogue desk.”.

Abstract Can ‘loving blackness’ become a new discourse for anti-racism in the UK and the broader black diaspora? This thesis will critically assess the concept of ‘loving blackness as political resistance’ as outlined by the African American feminist bell hooks (1992). The thesis will show the ways in which blackness has been both negated and denigrated in western cultures and thus constructed in opposition to notions of love and humanness. Conversely, love and blackness are also rehabilitated in different ways by Black diasporic populations in Britain through the transnational space. The transnational space can provide opportunities for constructing, networks of care, love and anti racist strategies that affirm the value of blackness and Black life. However, the transnational space can also be fraught with risks, dangers and exclusions providing Black and migrant populations with uneven forms of citizenship and belonging to western neo-liberal states.
