U-Roy & Black Uhuru to headline One Love

Two Superstar Legends of Jamaican musical history and culture, U-Roy, and Black Uhuru, have been revealed as headliners for One Love - the UK's only annual reggae camping festival, which happens from Friday 16th until Sunday 18th August 2013 at Damyns Hall Aerodrome, Upminster, in Essex.

Both acts have altered and influenced the music that we hear today. Reggae Hero and pioneer of Toasting the legend U-Roy will be performing a full band 1.5hr show.

'The Originator' U-Roy revolutionized the musical style of Reggae in 1969 through Toasting or rapping over "versions" of popular songs remixed by King Tubby. Considered one of Jamaica's first Deejay stars, and one of the pioneers of rap. The Jamaican reggae living legend is back with a brand new album 'Pray Fi Di People' after 10 years of absence in the studios, and his headline performance is sure to be a memorable one for One Love fans.

Black Uhuru, one of reggae's all time supergroups, currently featuring Iqualah Rastafari with Duckie Simpson, Andrew Bees and Kay Stahr are probably best known for their hits 'Shine Eye Gal', 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner', 'Sinsemilla', 'Solidarity', and 'What Is Life?'.
