The Soul Immigrants are fine purveyors of energetic soul ,funk (& beyond) Since they reformed in 2011 they have been quietly turning out vinyl only 45’s on their own label Dry Rooti Records.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Freddie is regarded as the first Jamaican ska/reggae artist to come to London in 1964 and success soon followed when his band The Rudies recorded for Trojan Records. Hits came thick and fast… “Return from South Vietnam”, “Down on the Farm”, “The Bull” and the global smash hit “Montego Bay” making The Rudies the most in demand reggae band of the day.

Ciyo Brown is also one of the finest soul, jazz, reggae guitarists in the UK and a top MD for many acts. Award-winning Ciyo has pioneered fusions of jazz and reggae, released six albums under his own name.

This is a potent combination, expect the unexpected!
