Description

This promises to be an historic occasion, as it features the great Neville King on the
wheels of steel. The renowned producer was born in St James, Jamaica. Neville’s
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
and David Rodigan.

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 lover’s rock productions. His works, on the King
and City label, by local heroes One Blood are particularly sought after; “Be Thankful”
having assumed classic status. A great friend of the D.D.C., Mr. King’s work holds a
special place for us.
In addition to our guest star, all of the usual D.D.C. massive will be along for this one.
For this session, we’re thrilled that our resident saxophonist Natty P. will be breaking
out focusing on his own, self penned material under his stage name RaSamurai.
Also featured will be Tombone, our regular trombonist. A future headliner in the
making.

The evening will commence with a warm up selection from Mr.Wax. We’re also
delighted that they’ll be succeeded by Natty Nick. He’ll be familiar to anybody that
has frequented Deptford Dub club as he is a real stalwart. The vibrant Nick exudes
positive vibes and can be relied upon for a scintillating set, presented with style.
Expect Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae revive.
After her, resident Soft Wax will be spinning again, on the wheels of steel, with a
fresh selection. He’ll joined by the great Doc Murdoch, our resident Singjay, live
and direct. Plus our resident engineer, the mighty Prince Fatty, will be mixing live on
the desk throughout the evening, ensuring a full and rich sound from the mighty rig.
Rocksteady will be playing throughout the early evening, in the glorious garden, at
The Fox. We'll be stoking up the new set inside from 7 ( this will be piped out into the
garden too.)
It's free until 7 and £5 thereafter, or £3 in advance
