Yellowman in Dublin


Dancehall legend Yellowman is dropping by Dublin next month. This is pretty exciting stuff and another great coup for Dublin’s dancehall/reggae scene which just saw another legend in the shape of David Rodigan play the Sugar Club to a full house and Chaka Demus & Pliers drop by the Button Factory a couple of weeks ago. Back to the future though… and November 12th is the day to catch the most famous albino rudebwoi you are ever likely to meet. A proper legend of the scene, here is what happened last time he was here:

Worries Outernational are teh chaps behind this gig, bringing him over to their Dancehall Styles night, which has been running every Sunday for over 5 years, quietly surviving recessions, archaic licensing laws and that lazy Sunday feeling a lot of us get to bring a consistently good party week in week out. A Dancehall night may be one of the less obvious club choices for a lot of people, but if it wasn’t for these guys there would literally be nothing to do on a Sunday, the fact that they are still going is testament to their hard work and high standards. They have just started a new night in 'Le Cirk' Dame St too, strictly reggae this one (no dancehall). Go down and show some support for one of the city’s finest outfits.
One Love…

We have a couple of passes up for grabs for the Yellow fella, drop a mail to the usual address to be in with a shot...
Yellowman: November 12th, Button Factory.
Lord have mercy...
