Augustus Pablo is one of the most influential figures in the history of dub and reggae.
Specifically, he pioneered the use of the melodica in reggae music, an instrument which had previously been reserved for the music teaching of Jamaican schoolchildren. On top of this, Pablo produced a stream of critically acclaimed hits throughout the 70s, including the seminal 1976 LP King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown.
On what would have been his birthday, no one is better placed to pay homage to Augustus than his own son Addis Pablo, who will be joined on stage by a full live band, the UK based roots reggae group the Upper Cut Band.
