Further to last months tragic news concerning Colin Moore's death, the funeral service was held this week on the 22/05 at St. Philips Church in Norbury, South London. It was a dignified occasion with a good turn-out. Many UK Reggae faces turned up to see Colin off and there is an up & coming dance in his honour.

 

Amongst the crowd of attendees were - Dennis
Alcapone, Dave Barker, Mike Brooks, Winston Francis, Levi Roots (Reggae Reggae Sauce), Blacker Dread, Adrian Sherwood, Dave Katz, Steve Barrow, Bob Brooks, John (Dub Vendor) and others.

R.I.P. Colin Moore

 

With a heavy heart we found out today that an associate of Reggae Retro of many years, a certain Mr Colin Moore of London - England, has sadly passed away. At this stage we have few details concerning his death.

 

Colin, aside from helping this label, also distributed material through his own label and was well known within the United Kingdom Reggae community; having a network of friends & contacts.

 

We send our best wishes to Colin's family.

● Neville Brown of Cornerstone live at the Hare & Hounds (Dec 12/08)

 

This reporter went along to check out Neville's acoustic set at the Hare & Hounds public house / Birmingham, UK on December 4th 2008. A small crowd gathered in the upstairs room, probably 50 heads in total, so quite an intimate gathering which suited the laid back set.

 

Neville stepped up to the microphone at around 10 PM after a DJ set and played for just over forty minutes, going through some of his recent material from the "City Runnings" CD/LP and other unreleased tracks.

 

The crowd were responsive to the music and although the sound system wasn't all it could have been on the night, the set was representative of his attitude and style; carrying his philosophical perspective clearly (with a lovers track thrown in for the ladies!).

 

The curtain call was a cover of Marley's "War" which really whipped the crowd up and got a few hesitant feet moving on the dance floor!

 

This was primarily a charity gig to raise awareness for the poverty affecting some of the folk who live in regions of Ghana/Africa and hopefully those who attended had their consciousness raised by the evenings presentation.

 

For more details on Neville's charity work, please go to:

... and don't forget to check out the Cornerstone releases in the catalogue, a percentage of money through sales on these items goes towards the running of the charity.

 

 

● Gadd59 set to release Peter Culture album on CD/10" vinyl

 

Several new cuts coming out from the Gadd59 workshop and studio, including the anticipated album called - Sanctified - by Peter Culture. This will be initially released on 10" vinyl, with a small run of CD albums.

 

Also Gadd59 are set release a new mix of the Lloyd Brown track called,  "I'm Sorry" with a promotional DVD video in a two disk set. This will be strictly limited, and we hope at some point to get this track out on vinyl.

 

 

● Phat Dubz News

 

At Phat Dubz studio in Devon UK, Alien Dread are steppin' up with a new 7" release due early 2009. Four roots tracks and due to new studio equipment, a harder edge to the sound. Those bass cones will need patchin' up after this vinyl gets a spin!

 

Kendrick Andy's - Great Old men - is at long last set for a release on 7". This was also a team up with Andy from Alien Dread and although we have had a delay on the vinyl, this is imminent.
