Just under a year or so ago RD UK Radio flicked the ‘off’ switch for one final time.

However, after many, many messages of support and encouragement, I’m proud to announce that I will be returning in the very near future… not just with a show, but a whole radio station dedicated to support, grow and share the sweet sweet sound of Reggae.

Thank you all.

Brilliant band, brilliant crowd, brilliant night.
Happy New Year everyone ❤️

Wow—what a way to start 2026! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our sold-out show at Stirchley United Working Man's Club. You were awesome and never let us down—the energy you brought from the first note to the last chorus was incredible. You sang and danced to every song, and you were so loud in places we could barely hear ourselves playing. A special shout-out to Rob Far from Rough Diamond Sounds, who kept the atmosphere buzzing on the decks and dancing between sets.

We’ve got big things happening in 2026, and we’d love for you to be on that journey with us. Thank you again for your continued support—see you at a venue near you soon. Until then, be safe and walk good.
