[generalechoes]

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 the May session, we're truly honoured to welcome a proper legend of UK Sound System culture to Walthamstow, the mighty Gladdy Wax. Renowned for his consummate skill as a selector, his knowledge of all genres of Jamaican popular music and his commitment to Britain’s black communities, Gladdy is an esteemed figure whose sound system has been a perennial highlight of the Notting Hill Carnival, attracting a diverse crowd.

Born Gladwin Wright in Jamaica in 1951, Gladdy spent his formative years between the countryside and Spanish Town, where his mother held weekly sound system dances at her grocery store and bar; one of his uncles was a guitarist at Studio One, the renowned recording facility often referred to as Jamaica’s Motown. Gladdy moved to the UK as a teenager, settling in Birmingham before moving to London in the late 1970s.

Active in the business for over 40 years, it's impossible to sum up all his achievements in a few sentences, but he's done it all, from managing reggae superstars such as Dennis Brown and Gregory Issacs, hosting a popular radio show on BBC Radio London, running the Gladdy Wax Unlimited record shop in North-East London, cutting records as a singer, DJing for Bob Marley (!), he was even in the Air Force for a short time. His is the definition of a life well-lived.

Come and listen to some of the greatest music ever made, played by a master of his craft, in a beautiful old school club.

Friday 12 May 2023 at Walthamstow Trades Hall, 61-63 Tower Hamlets Rd, London E17 4RQ, 8pm til 1am

5-minute excerpt from the documentary 'Vision of Paradise' about legendary music producer Lee Scratch Perry.

I was lucky to find this video again after remembering seeing it years ago. Loved his stroll through London, walking amongst amused passersby but couldn't track the video down at first.

Fortunately it wasn't long until it finally appeared in front of my bewildered eyes!

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 June session we're bringing some proper international flavour to Walthamstow with two guest selectors playing a diverse but brilliant array of sounds. 

LADY KAMIKAZE means Lady of the Divine Wind. She is a DJ & Promoter who collects and spins vintage music from the 30’s ~ 70’s on original 45rpm & 78rpm, playing genres such as jazz, blues, R&B, soul, funk and gospel, plus African, Latin and Caribbean sounds. The passion for this style of music stems from her involvement with her late husband and co-pilot, the legendary DJ El Nino, who was the founder of the popular Lady Luck Club and The Black Cotton Club. Her eclectic mix of vintage music takes you on a whirlwind musical dance experience.

GIO ONE STOP was born and raised in Rome, moving to London in 2004. He has played tunes all over the capital at events such as Reggae Cookout, The Flower of Kent and The London International Ska Festival. He's also a promoter, and his much-loved One Stop night at the Ridley Road Market Bar, recently ended after an amazing 10 year run. You can also catch him now and again on Voices Radio. Expect some treats from his box full of Jamaican sounds from the golden era.

Come and listen to some of the greatest music ever made in a beautiful old school social club.

This is Jazzreloaded

Jazzreloaded is the name of the award winning website project compiled by Vidal Montgomery and Danielle Harvey. It was recognised by the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group in 199x as the best digital Jazz platform in the UK. It was the first Afropean Jazz portal on the Internet

Jazzreloaded. Com began when double bass Player Vidal Montgomery (then named Darren Vidal Montgomery Taylor) merged his passion for jazz performances with the likes of Courtney Pine, Orphy Robinson, Steve Williamson, with a new found interest in computers and multimedia developed during his time at work as a network analyst for Netdecisions Group.

Two jazz fusion albums were recorded under the jazzreloaded label, called Get Out and Get Out Reloaded and a further three albums under either Taylormade Studios or Room 303 Productions or Flat 5 Studios, trading names for VIDAL Montgomery's trading style

A series of podcasts were also produced, in conjunction with the Musicians Union of whom Vidal Montgomery was a member at the time.

Don't let us stop you: Policemen are pictured carrying riot shields as members of the Caribbean community dance alongside them for Notting Hill Carnival on August 29 1979. Race riots were the original reason for creating the event after 108 were charged in relation to unrest in the area in 1958. The founder believed the carnival would promote cultural unity.
