After a blinding set in the Big Top on Sunday afternoon, the Trojan Soundsystem joined the aquatic airwaves of Bestival Radio for an hour of blissful, sunshine, reggae fun. Selectors Earl Gateshead and Daddy Ad were joined by Chucky Banton and Super Four on MC duties.
Trojan Soundsystem formed in 2004 from London Sound System legends, to represent the label in England and across the globe. Earl Gateshead began Djing in Brixton in 1979, worked as selector and MC with Cutty Ranks, Big Youth, Dr Alimantado, and Dennis Alcapone. Earl is a London legend – well known for his twenty year residency at The Dive Bar in London’s Chinatown and his Saturday residency at the legendary Blue Note club. Daddy Ad comes from the Roots and Reality Soundsystem and has worked with Gregory Isaacs, Tappa Zukie and Anthony Gunshot Johnson. The Sound Systems vocalists (Brother Culture, Superfour, Chucky Banton) all have twenty years experience as members of the great South London Sound Systems, Twelve Tribes, Taurus, Jah Revelation, Sir Coxsone and Saxon. They have been chosen as the absolute cream of London’s reggae entertainers. Special TSS guests have included Lee Perry, Dr Alimantado, Tippa Irie, Dennis Alcapone, Horace Andy and Gregory Isaacs.
