Soul Jazz Records are presenting the classic reggae movie Rockers in this rare one-off screening at Regent Street Cinema. The film will be introduced by Stuart Baker (head of Soul Jazz Records) and also followed by a free pre-xmas reggae and funk DJ-set from Soul Jazz Records Soundsystem DJs in the bar.
Time Out review:
A Trenchtown variant on Robin Hood, with dreadlocked drummer Horsemouth (Leroy Wallace) up against the local minor-league mafia. An excellent soundtrack (Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Bunny Wailer, etc), and an endearingly witty script which digresses through explanations of the Rasta faith and countless idiosyncratic solidarity rituals, make for a delightful piece of whimsy. Complete with subtitles transliterating the Rasta patois.
