Self-presented as "The UK's Leading Reggae
Website", Reggae News UK is most definitely
an essential place in Cyberspace. One could argue
about that self-description, one could not argue
that the name of the website is in fact an
understatement.
Sure, the website has Reggae news. On the
frontpage, we'll find the latest news item from
the website. A little more down, there's a list of
interesting things "From Around The
Web". That's just above a nice list of recent
Site Updates.
So, why is the name an understatement?
Well, you'll also go to Reggae news UK when you
want to book a crucial DUB and Reggae artist or
Sound System. From JAH Warrior to the Twinkle
Brothers, from Misty in Roots to the Disciples,
their booking agency can get the artist straight
in your venue.
Ok, that's not for all of us. Most of us will
visit concerts rather than organizing them. On the
other hand, it is always nice to know that the
website has some contacts with quite a few of the
Great Names of (mostly UK) Reggae.
Let's go to the Interviews, then. For that is a
thing which is of interest to us all. Reggae News
UK interviews Jimmy Cliff, Reggae News interviews
Twilight Circus, Reggae News interviews the
Twinkle Brothers, et cetera et cetera. Interesting
reads!
Of course: there's an impressive list of
interesting reviews too. DVD's, CD's and vinyl
records are often reviewed even before their
release date. Definitely not limited to UK
releases, the website pays attention to every
style within the rich Culture called Reggae.
Between the Sound Samples of releases, you can
also find quite a few full length MP3 files. The
Dubroom has reviewed most of them, just like the
excellent Podcasts released on an irregular basis
by the Reggae News UK website.
An interesting gallery, sometimes a competition
with prices, lists of Radio Shows and a small
section of Book Reviews? Sure, it's there. Among
many more things.
This is the kind of website you put in your
favorites. the kind of website that you want to
subscribe to. The kind of website that you use to
find Quality Reggae music and to stay up-to-date
with so much more than "just" the UK
Reggae scene.
