Active on sound systems for over 50 years, Ras Digby helped make Sir Jessus one of the most outstanding British sound systems of the 1970s, their links with the Morwells, Joe Gibbs' Studio, Manzie Swaby, Bob Marley, and Ruddy Thomas and Ossie Hibbert at Channel One yielding an unbeatable supply of exclusive dub plates; the Sir Jessus record label also issued classics by The Morwells and Junior Byles, among others. An amiable selector and toaster who plays with enthusiastic verve, Digby has toured throughout Europe, Brazil and Japan, the nature of his deep sound archive and the trove of exclusive dub plates keeping him in perpetually high command; he has also recorded original work for the late BB Seaton and other contemporary producers. Tonight Digby will help us to better understand dub’s evolution by digging deep into his well of original dub material and the one-off dub plates by which he made his name.
