Reggae inna velvet earthquake style
Fane discontinued this classic bullet tweeter prized by sound system operators for 30 or so years, along with the replacement diaphragms.
According to Fane, I have the only known stock of these diaphragms for sale. If you need any, contact me. Keep your tweeter sweeter! SORRY- SOLD OUT .
The very fine Pama International, fusing Ska,Reggae and Dub in a soulfull stew are a live event not to be missed. I caught up with them at the Wickerman festival in Scotland in my reggae tent a couple of years ago after a fantastic show with Nick Manassah at the control. Here is the latest news on the 2008 tour.

Along with the usual heady mix of reggae sounds delivered in a true sound system style, Copesetic DJ’s Perry Bonewell and Jak Ripley will be spinning some classic vintage JA platters.
The night starts at 8pm and finishes late. It’s also free to get in so what excuse do you need to come along and groove to the sound of the velvet earthquake!
