Jamaica 50 independence special!

Featuring Jamaica’s first lady of Lover’s Rock Myrna Hague

'Tighten Up' celebrates the 50th anniversary of Jamaican independence with the mighty 10-piece Jamaican all-stars and guest vocals from the legendary Jamaican singer Myrna Hague. Taking reggae institution Trojan Records as its point of inspiration, Tighten Up! explores the sounds of the motherland Jamaica and the music which brought Caribbean culture home to the numbers of immigrants working in Britain in the ‘50s. Tunes such Harry J All Stars ‘Liquidator’, Skatalites’ classics ‘Phoenix City’ and ‘Guns of Navarone’, Prince Buster’s ‘Al Capone’ and Myrna Hague’s classic ‘What About Me’ to name but a few.
