Music has often been a crucial tool for marginalised communities to find and challenge power – the UK reggae scene of the 1970s and 80s being a perfect example, with its politically charged lyrics and community-focused ethos.

In partnership with Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture, No Bass Like Home, and co-curated with young people from their Blueprint Collective, this energising night will feature performances, discussions and DJs exploring and commemorating the legacy of 1970s and 80s sound system culture, and how its relevance persists in today’s society and politics.
