BBC4 Reggae Britannia Documentary

[Rootsman]

For anyone who is interested.

Starting February 11th BBC4 are screening a documentary series called Reggae Britannia which charts the history of reggae music in England from 1968 through to the current day.

There is a good write up in todays Metro newspaper about the forthcoming series and it really does look like it will be great viewing.

It's a great documentary packed full of old archive footage, all about the history of Reggae in the UK. Split into 3x 30min sections but will be aired as 1 show i think. Features Aswad, Big Youth, Dennis Bovell, Muscial Youth, Smiley Culture, Tippa Irie, Boy George!, Eric Clapton, The Police, Specials, Selector+many more...

There will also be 3 other films shown as part of the season, one is a documentary on Toots "Reggae's Got Soul", the other will be footage from the Reggae Britannia concert which takes place at the Barbican on the 11th i think where many of the artists from the film will play. Then the last documentary will be a motage of old archive clips from the BBC. Dying to see this one!

Don't miss it....
