Contrary to what you may have read in the media, The Cellar is still very much alive and kicking! Skylarkin’ Soundsystem have some fantastic acts lined up over the coming months, and our autumn season begins with one of the finest exponents of that vintage 60s/70s Jamaican sound – Intensified!
Intensified
Playing authentic 60s-style ska, rocksteady and reggae, Intensified have acquired near legendary status across Europe over the past quarter of a century – providing backing to some of the most revered names in reggae – among them Dennis Alcapone, Pat Kelly, Dave Barker, Winston Francis and Prince Buster. In 2007 this led to the 10-piece performing alongside the late, great Alton Ellis at the Oxford Zodiac at a Skylarkin’ Soundsystem event that is still talked about to this day. Ten years on we’re bringing them back!
“Intensified are the best band in the UK” Alton Ellis
Count Skylarkin
Trojan Records remixer, gentleman and raconteur spins reggae, rocksteady, ska and calypso from the top, then dancehall, hip hop, jungle and anything else he can lay his mits on till the very last drop.
