Monthly reggae disco in North-East London. The night is named after sadly departed MC Earl Anthony Robinson, the voice behind classic deejay tunes such as "Drunken Master".
For our November session we're very pleased to welcome back a pair of selectors who have played for us in the past: Sistren Shirley and Vital Sound, both of whom have shows on Real Roots Radio. They always come packing a box of quality tunes, including some one off dubplate specials!
On warm up duties we have Jeb Loy Nichols - Jeb Loy Nichols is a musician, writer and artist who has, for the past twenty years, lived on a remote smallholding in the Welsh hills. Born in Wyoming and raised in Missouri, he went to New York City at the age of seventeen where he worked in a record store and fell in love with the emerging hip-hop culture. In the early 1980s he moved to London where he shared a squat with Ari Up from The Slits and made the acquaintance of Adrian Sherwood, at that time starting his record label On-U Sound. He sold second hand Black Ark 12"s on Portobello Market with Pete Holdsworth who went on to run the Pressure Sounds label. In the 1990s he formed the country-dub band Fellow Travellers, and has since gone on to record fifteen solo records. He has also published three novels and exhibited his distinctive woodcut artwork internationally. The night after General Echo, he is playing a launch show for his new album on On-U Sound, 'United States Of The Broken Hearted', at the What's Cookin' night in neighbouring Leytonstone.
We're also celebrating 7 (!) years of putting on our little reggae disco so come down, raise a glass with us, and enjoy listening to some of the greatest music ever made in a beautiful old school club.
