Windrush Reggae & Spice

The1960s which saw Chris Blackwell, founder of Islands Records, bring Millie Small to Britain with My Boy Lollipop and the birth of Trojan records with the release of “Do the Reggay” by The Maytals in 1968, which was the first popular song to use the word ‘reggae’ and defined the developing genre by giving it its name.

Remembering the arrival of MV Empire Windrush in Essex on June 22, 1948. Hundreds of workers and their children arrived from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and other islands bringing over the unmistakable sounds and flavoursome cuisine.

Now this 22nd June The Oddfellows will endeavour to bring back the sounds and flavours that defined a generation.ALL WELCOME 😎
