“This is the third instalment of How Jamaica Conquered The World and continues in the excellent manner of episodes 1 & 2. Coming from Birmingham, we have a large Jamaican community that have played a huge role in how our city has evolved over the last 40 or so years no more so with Jamaican influence on our culture, particularly music.
From the Blues Parties, Sound System clashes, clubs like the Monte Carlo and The Porsche Club, to Beverley Nappier-Barrett and Lloyd Blakes Hummingbird, to bands like the mighty Steel Pulse, UB40, Eclipse and countless others, to record shops like Don Christies, Summit and of course pirate radio station like PCRL.

Looking forward to more episodes please!”Read full review »

“Roifield Brown takes me back to my youth while educating me about topics that were both familiar and foreign to me. As a child growing up in farm country, I was first introduced to Bob Marley in the 70's while in college. I instantly feel in love with his music. But so many parts of reggae...”Read full review »
