Reggae night with Ritchie 'Reggae' Campbell playing reggae favourites from UB40, Bob Marley and Sugar Minott.
Ritchie 'Reggae' Campbell is playing The Retreat on Friday 30 October, with the set running from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. It's a dedicated reggae night, and Campbell is the only name on the bill.
The set is built around reggae favourites, and he's pulling from three distinct corners of the genre. There's UB40, whose pop-leaning reggae brought the sound to a huge audience in the UK; Bob Marley, the name that usually defines the whole thing; and Sugar Minott, the Jamaican singer and producer who was a key figure in the dancehall scene. Having all three in one night gives you a fair spread: the smooth, melodic side of the 80s, the roots foundations everyone knows, and the more dancehall-inflected sound Minott was known for.
