Don Letts DJ Set

Bushrocker HiFi, Love Music Hate Racism & Kanteena Presents…… Don Letts

Very happy to be able to welcome back The Rebel Dread, Don put in an unreal shift last time he was in town and he is sure to get us all it again this time around!!

We are equally happy to be welcoming back the mammoth Bushrocker HiFi, the team that make the floor wobble wherever they are. Their DJs will be playing either side of Don to tighten up the line up with their slick blend of Dub & Reggae vinyl only bangers.

Love Music Hate Racism are an organisation we are fully behind and couldn’t think of a better cause to donate the profits on the door to!!

Don Letts’ reputation has been firmly established in both the film and music world by a substantial body of work from the late 70's through the 80's, 90’s and well into the millennium. His work has been exhibited in The Kitchen N.Y.C, The Institute of Contemporary Art, The N.F.T in London and was honored at Brooklyn’s BAM festival and The Milan Film festival. In March 2003 he won a Grammy for his documentary ‘Westway To The World’.

He came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ that single handedly turned a whole generation of punks onto reggae. It was whilst as a d.j at the first punk club 'The Roxy' in 1977, that made his first film 'The Punk Rock Movie' w/ Sex Pistols-The Clash and many others. This led to a period directing over 300 music videos for a diverse mix of artists ranging from Public Image to Bob Marley.

He then moved into documentary work making films on the likes of Gil Scot-Heron, The Jam, Sun Ra, The Clash and George Clinton. His most recent documentary was for Sir Paul McCartney’s ‘New’ project. Feature films include the legendary Jamaican movie 1997’s ‘Danchall Queen’.

Along with his autobiography ‘Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers’ released in 2007 Don was also the subject of the documentary film ‘Superstonic Sound: The Rebel Dread’ in 2010.

He currently presents a weekly radio show on BBC 6 Music called 'Culture Clash Radio' and still d.j's nationally and internationally.
