FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHART TOPPING UK REGGAGE LEGENDS BLACK SLATE ANNOUNCE WORLD TOUR London, UK, Sept 1st 2013 We are pleased to announce that UK Reggae Legends “Black Slate will be kicking off their“Feed Yourself World Tour by performing at the One Love Nutrifest 2013 Reggae Festival dubbed Miami International Reggae Festival on November 23, 2013 at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove, FL, USA. Black Slate first found recognition & success with chart topping hits”Sticksman” in 1977 & their Rastafarian rallying call, “Amigo” in 1981, which broke into the UK Singles Chart, reaching #9 with a BBC TOTP appearance for the band. After a 10-year hiatus they return with just the right mix of playful musicality and poignant lyricism they were so legendary known. That was until Black Slate formed in 1974 – they became one of the first waves of British reggae bands to break from the UK, touring heavily around London and backing Jamaican musicians such as Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, and Ken Boothe. The members of Black Slate grew up in England and were united by their Black British background. Like Aswad and Steel Pulse, Black Slate showed that British reggae was a reality, with its own sound and its own thematic concerns. The gifted, producer, vocalist and band leader, Anthony Brightly says ” Black Slate aim to release as much music in either single or album format every month, through the following sales channels. We aim to put British Reggae back on the map and keep it their, hence the strategy of not sitting on music, in the hope of being picked up by a label, we will do it ourselves on our own term” Black Slate are currently rehearsing in London, in preparation for their world tour.
