The pair began working together as a team in 1975 and they quickly became Jamaica’s leading, and most distinctive, rhythm section. They have played on numerous releases, including recordings by U- Roy, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture and Black Uhuru, while Dunbar also made several solo albums, all of which featured Shakespeare. They have constantly sought to push back the boundaries surrounding the music with their consistently inventive work. Dunbar, nicknamed ‘Sly’ in honour of his fondness for Sly And The Family Stone, was an established figure in Skin Flesh And Bones when he met Shakespeare. Dunbar drummed his first session for Lee Perry as one of the Upsetters; the resulting ‘Night Doctor’ was a big hit both in Jamaica and the UK. He next moved to Skin Flesh And Bones, whose variations on the reggae-meets-disco/soul sound brought them a great deal of session work and a residency at Kingston’s Tit For Tat club. Sly was still searching for more, however, and he moved on to another session group in the mid-70s, the Revolutionaries. This move changed the course of reggae music through the group’s work at Joseph ‘Joe Joe’ Hookim’s Channel One Studio and their pioneering rockers sound.

  • Georgie Fame
    Georgie Fame Born on 26th June 1943 in the industrial town of Leigh, Lancashire, his interest in music grew from family entertainment “sessions” at home and musical evenings in the church hall across the street, where his father played in an amateur dance band. Although he took piano lessons for a short time at the age of seven, it wasn’t until the advent of rock’n’roll on radio during the mid-fifties that young Georgie began to take the family piano seriously. Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were among his catalysts. Upon leaving school, shortly after his fifteenth birthday, he followed the family tradition and took a job as an apprentice cotton weaver in one of the many local mills. Leisure time, however, was spent playing piano in various pubs and with a local group, “The Dominoes”. In July 1959, at a summer holiday camp, Georgie was spotted by Rory Blackwell, the resident rock’n’roll bandleader, who offered the young singer/pianist a full time job. Goodbye, weaving shed. Rory and the Blackjacks departed for London, their hometown, when the summer season ended prematurely and Georgie went with them. The promised glamorous work did not materialise and the band broke up, but the determined young man from Leigh eventually took up a solo residency at The Essex Arms pub in London’s Dockland, where the kindly landlord provided a room to sleep in. In October of that year, the Marty Wilde Show was performing at the Lewisham Gaumont and Rory Blackwell arranged for Georgie to audition “live” for impressario Larry Parnes.
