As writer and narrator John Simmit – so famously Dipsy in the Teletubbies a generation ago – says, the company will be offering party and history lesson combined when they offer RUSH: A Joyous Jamaican Journey (The Hawth, Crawley, June 14).
The night is a narrated musical telling the story of reggae music, the Windrush Generation and how the music took the world by storm, featuring ska, rock steady, calypso, gospel, lovers rock, dancehall and reggae, played live by the JA Reggae Band. It’s a chance to enjoy the music of Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Millie Small and many more in a show marking the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the first Windrush generation in the UK.
