About this event

Reggae University shines a light on the people who carried reggae from studios to sound systems to book shelves and the world.

Join cultural historian Al Fingers in conversation with Chris O’Brien and Oxman (Selector & Curator) as they trace the stories behind the records — from reggae and dancehall through dub, jungle and beyond — unpacking how scenes were built, sounds travelled, and culture was preserved in motion. Expect deep knowledge, rare insight, and moments that connect the dots between music, history and lived experience.

A listening-led conversation for anyone curious about how UK and Jamaican music history was written — in real time.

Alexander will have books on sale (signing) including Greensleeves: The First 100 Covers and ‘Clarks in Jamaica’ books.
