The SERTUC film club presents a private screening and panel discussion of "Duke Vin and the Birth of Ska" on Thursday 7th August.
This documentary covers the arrival in London of pioneering Jamaican soundmen Duke Vin (who DJ'd for me at Right On! back in 2003) and Count Suckle and looks at the effect that Jamaican music and culture had on the UK. These men and the role they played in championing ska music in the UK has often been sadly neglected, so I am very pleased to hear of such an interesting sounding film on the subject. Hopefully this will help give them some of the recognition they deserve from the wider public.
Admission to the screening is free but advance booking is essential.
Location: Congress House, Great Russell Street, WC1B 3LS
Time: 6.30pm - 9.30pm
You can register by emailing sertucevents@tuc.org.uk or by calling (020) 7467 1220
