Natty Wailer?

[Adele]

I have been asked to promote Natty but I need to find out if he is who he says he is. Was he one of the Wailers? Has anyone anymore information?

[bwoyrough]

Yes he is legit Adele, not many people know of him, he appeared on a TV show last year in ireland a 1hr special explaining his links with the wailers, i think he came over to live in ireland there after meeting a girl from ireland, he also appeared in court as a witness on behalf of aston barret. He has appeared on various small concerts in the US, i have a video somewhere. I also had no idea who he was until a few months ago. He's being promoted by some agency in nottingham right now, but he is known by the marley experts for sure, i also thought he may be fake until i did some asking round.

Heres some info on him:

"The Reggae Vibes Lead by: Natty Wailer, formerly of BOB MARLEY and the Wailers since 1972 now with his own entourage, The Reggae Vibes. his music and message within it transcend the feelings and aspirations of all people. Natty Wailer met BOB MARLEY and the Wailers through Family man the Bass player of the Wailers in 1972, a couple of months after he graduated from High School. That same year he began to rehearsal with the Bob Marley and the Wailers as a studio section musician, After that he went on his first tour with Bob Marley and the Wailers to Trinidad and Tobago, which followed many albums and world tours. At an early age he was obsessed and fascinated with the culture of Rastafari and the music that comes out of its philosophy and life, and for this he still driven today to be part of this calling. Natty Wailer feel compelled it seems to write, sing and play instrument. He emphasised It is my life and I will not lose the love for music. With his own group "The Reggae Vibe" he has now recorded CD album entitled "Lifted" will, I hope, reflect his purpose, and that is to present the Reggae music and its message to a wider audience."

In 1972 whilst recording at the Black Arc Studio, Bob Marley & the Wailers sent a young hanger-on by the name Ian Wynter to the shops for some munchies. He never returned with the much needed capri suns, star bars & jonnie onion rings etc., a very angry & stoned Bob vowed to extract his revenge. At this an extremely scared Wynter changed his alias to the most improbable name imaginable & fled to a remote land.

I'm doing a gig at the Kings Hall,Belfast, this weekend. NW is on the bill as a solo artiste. Will try to check it out.

[Jo Bangs]

I checked out this site and its the strangest/weirdest/ oddest site I've ever seen. Check this out. EVERY STEELBAND advertised has the same guy in it, yet they all have different names....Whatja think of that then????

[Jo Bangs]

The agency is in Nottingham, called African, Caribbean, Asian Entertainments. This guy who appears in ALL the pix of the steelbands seems to be the manager of the agency and he has Natty Wailer as one of his acts....If NW is for real he should get off that site NOW. Bless...

[bwoyrough]

why would he want to "get off that site NOW"???
That website does look a little basic when it comes to graphics but i don't think there is anything on that website to say that they are bad promoters or to say that they don't do as advertised, they might be a great agency, when your an old reggae artist u need to get as much work as u can, and i guess that means signing up with lots of agencies.
I have a video with natty wailer singing on stage and he has a good band with him and a big crowd, he is 100% legit and he looks like a great artist from what i seen.

Hey Natty Wailer done a gig in my work the other night and was brillant must say even if he didnit actually sing with Bob he really should have.
