PRINCE ALLAH
Prince allah is revered within the reggae music fraternity as a devote Rastaman whom lives by his words and deeds with righteous actions. His music has produced some of roots reggae music classics anthems. With hits such as 'Sun is shinning', 'Bucket Bottom', 'Lots Wife' and 'Stone'.

He has recorded with some of Jamaica's top producers, including Tappa Zukie, (STARS) Bertram Brown (FREEDOM SOUNDS), The Oswald Bros (HEADPHONE).

His album, 'Only love can conquer' for UK based Blood and Fire in the late 70?s introduced his work to a new and very receptive audience.

Normally at ease in the hills of Jamaica this is a rear opportunity to experience the musical and spiritual genius of a true Rastaman.

DAWEH CONGO
Introducing for the first time live on stage in the UK, a talent which has been described as, echoing the voice of Burning Spear and other vintage roots artist, but no one sounding quite like Daweh.

His delivery of poetry is unique. He remains one of the most unfulfilled potential in reggae music.
Debuting in 1995 with the highly acclaimed' MILITANCY' album on the RUNN NETHERLANDS Label. High expectations was expected of this young sounding Burning Spear.

His mesmerising voice and sharp social commentary fills dance floors wherever his productions are played. His dub plates are the most sort after by sound systems worldwide. Now we have finally managed to get him in the uk on a tour live as opposed to a recording level. Daweh has come to fulfil that potential.
