Dont miss Pama International.

The very fine Pama International, fusing Ska,Reggae and Dub in a soulfull stew are a live event not to be missed. I caught up with them at the Wickerman festival in Scotland in my reggae tent a couple of years ago after a fantastic show with Nick Manassah at the control.

Axis Sound System at Hebden Bridge Saturday 1st March

The Axis monthly shindig at Marshall's Bar rolls into town once again with a couple of guest DJ's and a prize raffle to boot.

Last month's dance raised £132 for the NSPCC, a great result and one that we hope to better this time round. Along with the usual heady mix of reggae sounds delivered in a true sound system style, Copesetic DJ's Perry Bonewell and Jak Ripley will be spinning some classic vintage JA platters.

The night starts at 8pm and finishes late. It's also free to get in so what excuse do you need to come along and groove to the sound of the velvet earthquake!
