Reggae on the Rocks - Arnot Hill Park (Arnold Park) - Nottingham - 16 June 2019

This is the third time I`ve seen this talented group of local lads live, and hopefully not the last time.

Their set began with The Harder They Come and ended with Too Experienced so as you can tell there was plenty there for the lover of vintage reggae.

At one time it would have seemed odd the idea of a reggae covers band as all the emphasis was on original material, but these days I quite like hearing a few old favourites played live. Perhaps I`m getting old !

The band are proficient and versatile, playing an hour-long set that is designed to appeal to a wider audience but still have something to offer for the seasoned reggae fan. 

Some will say that they are something of a reggae variety act - whether that`s a criticism or a recommendation is very much a matter of personal taste.

Inevitably, there were a couple of songs I personally could have done without, a couple which they sometimes play that I would have liked to hear but that they missed out on this occasion.

Overall though it was a good hour of live quality reggae and I was happy with that.
