"Reggae music is the people music" BOB MARLEY.

The first ever Reggae Orchestra in Bristol and the South West will take its place in the city's cultural history with its live world premiere at St George's Bristol.

Led by local musicians Norma Daykin (Lorraine Ayensu Trio, Paraty) and Delroy 'Roots' O'Gilvie (Black Roots, One Drop, Jungle Red), and performing alongside the UK's best known jazz trombonist Dennis Rollins (Badbone & Co, The Jazz Warriors), the orchestra is made up of 35 musicians, from a diversity of cultures, with a variety of musical skills and experience.

"This is one of the most inspiring and unique community music projects in Bristol and the South West. It gives a platform for unsung local musicians to develop their talents, work with a new people, and perform at some of the city’s biggest community events and venues."
DENNIS ROLLINS (Mentor, St Pauls Reggae Orchestra)

Created in partnership by St George's Bristol (through the Migrations Project) and St Pauls Learning Centre, St Pauls Reggae Orchestra brings diverse and local community musicians from across inner city Bristol to the wider audiences of Bristol. Meeting weekly to rehearse, the orchestra are working towards a portfolio of well known Reggae music, as well as music created specifically for the orchestra by composers within the community. These pieces of music will be performed at St George's Bristol as well as local events throughout 2010.

Dennis Rollins: 'The most exciting British trombonist for decades.' JAZZWISE 'The foremost jazz-funk trombonist in the world today.' MOJO

Late Music Session in the Festival Bar:
DJ Derek: Sweet Memory Sounds

Join us for an after-show party / music session and an exclusive drinks promotion.

Sexagenarian Cadbury-accountant-turned-turnablist, and Massive Attack favourite, DJ Derek (Glastonbury Festival, The Big Chill) is a legend on the Bristol club circuit where his uplifting platters of hardy 60s rocksteady, reggae, ska, dancehall and soul perennials rock many a dance floor. DJ Derek keeps the joyous sounds coming in the Festival Bar after the show.
