Argonaut Sounds feat. UK/Scottish Documentary

argonaut sounds reggae documentary #8: uk/scottish

This week on Argonaut Sounds reggae radio show we'll be playing the 8th and final episode in our series of reggae documentaries, looking at the UK and Scottish scene.

The documentary examines the roots of the UK reggae scene, forged by Jamaican immigrants in the 50's and 60's who brought over soundsystem culture, through to the lovers rock period and the alliance with punk in the 70's, and the rise of DJs like Tippa Irie and Smiley Culture in the early 80's. We'll also look at some of the current ranking soundsystems inna Scotland.

All this, and usual mix of heavy roots and bangin' dancehall 6-8pm on Sunday...
