The Brighton Moon-Hop

If you’re looking for a reliable spot to catch some classic Jamaican sounds, there’s a new monthly fixture kicking off at Komedia Brighton that might be worth checking out. It’s called The Brighton Moon-Hop, and it’s setting up shop in The Studio, aiming to become the city’s go-to Reggae dance party. This isn't just a one-off; it’s designed as a recurring club night, focusing specifically on the rich sounds of Reggae, Roots, Ska, Rocksteady, and Lovers Rock. It’s great to see a dedicated night for these genres establishing itself in the local scene, especially one hosted by local vocal duo, The Tribulizations, who are presenting the whole evening.

Since it’s classified as a ‘Standing Club Night’ and has a strict 18+ age restriction, you can expect a proper late-night atmosphere. The first event is happening this Saturday, January 31st, with doors opening late at 11:00 pm. If you can’t make the launch, or if you find yourself hooked, the good news is that the series is scheduled well into the summer. The subsequent dates include Friday, February 27th (note the earlier 9:00 pm start for this one), followed by Saturdays on March 28th, April 25th, May 30th, and June 27th. All the Saturday dates maintain that 11:00 pm start time.

For those planning ahead, tickets are required, and the standard price is listed around £6.00. It’s a straightforward, no-frills concept: good music, a dedicated venue within Komedia, and a consistent monthly schedule, making it easy to pencil into your calendar for the next few months if you’re keen on keeping the Reggae vibes flowing.
