The Allergies are neck deep in the world of scratchy samplesβ¦This is truly funk and soul for the 21st century!βΒ β Craig Charles, BBC 6 Music.
Come on down to the Fox and Firkin to witness the beautiful sound that The Allergies provide! Think funk, soul and dancing until you can’t no more.
After breaking onto the scene with a Mixmag βTune of the Monthβ, The Allergies (DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat) continued in their mission to bring re-fuelled funk and feel good hip-hop to the masses. The three LPs that followed, on Brightonβs Jalapeno Records, were sonic steps forward for the pair, winning them die-hard fans and BBC 6 Music βAlbum of the Dayβ and βAlbum of the Yearβ awards along the way –Β Diplomats of Sound.
Supported by
/// Soul Grenades
A veritable tornado of funk, the band boasts a super-tight rhythm section, a wall of brass and a burgeoning song book of original music. Fusing their many influences, encompassing crate-digging rarities to contemporary dance floor fillers, Soul Grenades deliver no-nonsense, hard-hitting funk and soul music.
/// The Dre Zone
The DreZone has been THE name on the London circuit for well over a decade plus, even once being dubbed as the modern day Norman Jay.

FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
All ages welcome but acitivities are designed with 0-8 years olds in mind. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.
What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

How loud will it be?
BFLF sets and monitors the volume using World Health Organisation guidelines – so that is it at a safe level for everyone, even the youngest babies, over the 2.5 hour duration of the event. Though quieter than at adult events, it is still loud enough to feel like you are at a club. Most parents do not use ear defenders on their children but if yours are particularly sensitive to noise or if you want them to nap then you might want to consider it.

Legendary Local Heroes
This promises to be a historic occasion, as it features the great Neville King on the wheels of steel. The renowned producer was born in St James, Jamaica. Nevilleβs Soundsystem had long residencies in Brixton, Tooting, Peckham and Streatham during the 1970s. During those times he was a mentor to Blacker Dread, Levi Roots andΒ David Rodigan. Heβs the Godfather of music of Jamaican origin in The Borough.
Neville King launched his own label in London in 1976 and quickly struck gold. He issued exceptional roots material by Prince Lincoln and the Royal Rasses and Jacob Miller. Neville also released his own loverβs rock productions. His works, on the King and City label, by local heroes One Blood are particularly sought after; βBe Thankfulβ having assumed classic status.Β A great friend of the D.D.C., Mr. Kingβs work holds a special place for us.
Throughout this event weβll be spinninβ classic, vintage music of Jamaican origin, from Ska, Rocksteady and deep roots Reggae, stretchinβ right through to, as yet unreleased, modern exclusives. In addition to our guest star, all of the usual D.D.C. massive will be along for this one. Early on, an extra special guest will be personing the decks in fine style.Β Sheβll be followed by resident selector Soft Wax.Β
He will be joined by a host of guests supplementing the vinyls with vocals and instrumentation. Following the success of our semi-live sessions, we will be welcoming back our fine, fresh, horns section. Weβll also be featuring our mighty Singjay Doc Murdoch on live vocals throughout and heβll be join with guests on the mic..
Included in this event will be an interactive display about Rebel Music in Lewisham.Β
An enhanced sound system, engineered by the great Prince Fatty, is a feature of this popular night, held in a convivial boozer. The palatial, discrete garden will feature Rocksteady all afternoon and have the evening session piped out to it. Put on your dancing shoes.

DJ Andy Smith and Nick Halkes (aka Nick Reach Up) drop 80s disco, boogie and proto house,evoking the spirit of legendary NYC clubs such as Paradise Garage and Studio 54. Theyβll dip into the rich soundtrack that emerged as the 70s turned into the 80s forming the DNA of todayβs club music and mesh the set with the freshest productions, remixes and re-edits that they have sourced or can find!
As schooldays best friends Andy and Nick ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12 inch vinyl in their childhood home town of Portishead near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that Andy would supply beats and tour the world with Portishead before becoming one of the top 100 djs in the world nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva labels becoming one of the UK’s most respected dance and electronic music industry executives.
Reach Up launched more than five years ago at London basement venue The Waiting Rooms and soon after appeared at Carl Coxβs night at Space, Ibiza where they played for three seasons on the bounce and then also began packing out their monthly London residency at Peckhamβs South London Soul Train (hosted at the legendary Bussey Building).The chaps 2018 Summer festival tour took in Bestival, Boardmasters, Eastern Electrics, Kendall Calling, Bluedot and an 8 hour take over at Festival No6. 2019 and 2020 saw them spread the good vibes in Lisbon, Berlin and back out on the festival circuit at Shindig, Beautiful Days and beyond.
Despite knowing each other for decades, maybe this is still just the start for Nick and Andys Reach Up Disco Wonderland adventure?!

As part of this yearβs festival, Brockley Max will be hosting a FREE PARTY AT LEWISHAMβS LEGENDARY FOX & FIRKIN ON SUNDAY 29TH MAY 2022 featuring a host of live acts and djs who have appeared at the festival over the years.
Β Veteran blues/country singer CERI JAMES,Β
Ceri has been playing and organising Brockley Max events for almost 20 years. Starting around 2004 at Moonbow Jakes cafe. He helped compile a CD of Brockley based artists/musicians in 2006 called Brockley Max Trax II 2006. Various other events have included a singer/songwriter night in 2016 and an event at the cafe on Hilly Fields during the pandemic.
Lewisham-based militant rock and roots reggae band, THE FOUR FATHERS,Β
The Four Fathers have been proud to be involved in several Brockley Max events since forming in 2014, playing at βArt in the Parkβ in 2015 and on the opening night in 2017, and organising two festival events in 2018 and 2019 at the Chandos and at Brockley Social Club. Lead singer Andy Worthington, who was involved in the earliest βArt in the Parkβ events, and who also promoted his book βThe Battle of the Beanfieldβ at an event in 2005, recalls how the creation of the festival was extraordinarily helpful in bringing Brockleyβs artists and creative people together.
And also from Lewisham, βcosmicβ country band, THE TRUE BELIEVERS fronted by musical comedian Steve Gribbin and local legend Alice Renouf. The True Believers have been part of Brockley Max since we formed in 2016, and have played every year since. It’s such a great Festival celebrating the best of Brockley & Lewisham, a real good vibe to it. We especially enjoyed playing The Opening Night gigs in 2016, 2017 and 2018, including one where a torrential downpour made our gig into a Dangerous Sport!Β We loved playing in the Front Garden last year, our answer to The Beatles on The Rooftop. There’s something about music played outdoors that is magical, and this did not disappoint. There was a great atmosphere, a beautiful sunny day & loads of people in our street, even a small child dancing! The very essence of Brockley Max!!
Local singer/songwriter PRVNAΒ
“Loved playing Brockley Max just before the pandemicΒ happened, real good vibes – excited to be back this summer!”
And coming all the way from Memphis Tennessee for the party, energetic southern rapper, COLDWAY who last appeared at the festival in 2019. Β My first time traveling internationally was to travel to London to perform at the Brockley Max Festival. I felt so welcomed by the community and it continues to be one of the best experiencesΒ I’ve had.
Felixβs Rock Choir (FRC) sprung from Felixβs School of Rock (FSOR) in 2007 β originally something for young rockersβ parents to do. Theyβve performed over 100 songs at over 100 pubs, clubs, schools and special events doing mostly singalong friendly Rock, Pop & Soul. FRC has enjoyed appearing at Brockley Max many times.
The celebrations will be rounded off with funk tunes fromΒ DJ mR tiDy, one of South Londonβs longest standing vinyl DJβs whoβs deejayed for Brockley Max festival numerous times over the years.Β
With more acts to be announced, the BROCKLEY MAX 21ST BIRTHDAY PARTY will have something for everyone.Β For updates please visit https://foxfirkin.com or check out the full programme at www.brockleymax.co.ukΒ Β

—————————–
/// DENNIS ALCAPONE FULL LIVE BAND
When people talk about musical originators and foundation artists in reggae there are many names that have contributed to its rich history.Β One these is Dennis βAlcaponeβ Smith, whose legacy as one of the first sound systems DJs that made the transition from the dancehall to the studio can only be compared to U-Roy.
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica in 1947, Alcaponeβs introduction to the music industry came from following and listening to many of the early sound systems in Jamaica, like Duke Reidβs Trojan and Coxsoneβs Downbeat Sound System with early DJs like King Stitt, Sir Lord Comic and Count Machuki.
After moving to Kingston, he started El Paso Hi-Fi sound system with two close friends in 1969. They quickly became the talk of the town for combining great selection with Alcaponeβs unique style, of combining toasting and singing over classic rocksteady and ska riddims. As Alcaponeβs reputation spread throughout the island, U-Roy established himself as the Jamaicaβs No.1 DJ performing with King Tubbyβs Hi-Fi and releasing singles for both Studio 1 and Treasure Isle Records.
El Paso disbanded the following year and Alcapone took his unique combination of singing and toasting into the studio, recording with producers Keith Hudson, Clement βCoxsoneβ Dodd and Winston βNineyβ Holness.
He built on his success and over a two year period he became one the most in-demand artists, recording with all the key producers, releasing hundreds of singles. His delivery combined quick wit and comedy to tackle social issues, like the classics songs, Wake Up Jamaica, Brixton Town Hall and Repatriation Now!! Along with the U-Roy and slightly later Big Youth, Dennis Alcapone was not only part of the first wave of recorded DJs but his trademark style influenced many other artists including Dillinger and Trinity.
Alcaponeβs success continued throughout the 70s, when he was constantly in Reggae charts in both Jamaica and England, and his popularity was reflected at The Swing Magazine Awards in 1972 when he won the first Most Popular Deejay award. The following year he toured in England for two months and shortly after relocated to London, where he is still based.
Changes in the music scene from the rocksteady DJs of the 70s to the digital riddims and DJs of the 80s encouraged Alcapone to step back from the stage and focus on other commitments. However in 1988 he returned to the scene with a triumphant performance at the WOMAD festival. He has toured consistently over the last twenty years across the world and has continued to release new material, working with The Mad Professor, Bunny Lee, Prince Fatty and Jerry Dammers.
/// MEGUMI MESAKU
The lovely Japanese saxophonist Megumi Mesaku aka Miss Megoo was born in Soma City, Fukushima, but as a child moved to Chiba (next to the Tokyo area) and then relocated to London at the age of 20. As a teenager she fell in love with reggae music and since then she has travelled the world, enticing audiences with her instrumental renditions of reggae classics. Mesaku also plays the keyboard and has worked with some of Jamaicaβs top reggae stars, including The Skatalites, The Pioneers, Alton Ellis, Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster, Ken Boothe, Max Romeo, Big Youth, Dennis Alcapone, Little Roy, Winston Francis and Roy Shirley. Nowadays she plays with UK bands like Ska Cubano, the Trojans and the Topcats.
/// DJ NICK MANASSEH
Manasseh has occupied a vibrant space in the worldwide reggae music community for 25 years. A sound system built by a group of school friends for Notting Hill Carnival in β85, the Manasseh crew played reggae with roots – missing from the scene at that time. The legendary Manasseh late-night dub show occupied a slot on Kiss FM from β87-β90, and Nick has been selecting from his distinctive collection of music for broadcast and the dance ever since.
As a producer, Nick records and mixes music for artists all over the world at his studio – ‘The Yard’, in Ladbroke Grove. Manasseh is widely credited for pioneering the βUK Steppersβ genre with Sound Irationβs βSeventh Sealβ in β88 and has gone on to release records on Acid Jazz, Riz Records, and Roots Garden records – a label Nick co-founded in 2004 and which most recently released the the critically acclaimed βManasseh Meets Praiseβ LP.
The new βSoul Reviversβ collaboration with David Hill sees Nick back on Acid Jazz Records. The debut single from the project – βHarderβ featuring Ernest Ranglin, has received support from David Rodigan and Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music & 1xtra. Soul Revivers now take up a bi-monthly radio show on Worldwide FM.

βKeeping the Roots & Culture fire burning bright, Ashanti Selah is set to play a crucial role in the future of conscious sound system musicβ.
