Event Navigation
NOTE: This event has been moved from The Cellar to O2 Academy 2.
Susan Cadogan: Live & direct from Kingston, Jamaica! ‘Hurt So Good’, ‘Nice & Easy’, ‘Piece Of My Heart’ – Susan Cadogan is one of the Caribbean’s best-loved singers. From the groundbreakers and hitmakers she recorded with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry at the height of the seminal Black Ark madness, through Top Of The Pops appearances and lovers rock classics, Susan’s recorded output has rarely been less than sensational over the years, and her live performances remain truly mesmerising. Onstage 9.00 pm with a fantastic backing band in The Sidewalk Doctors – don’t miss this one-time only opportunity to catch a reggae great in a tiny venue!
The Legendary DJ Derek: DJ Derek’s final appearance behind a set of decks in Oxford. Derek has been gracing Skylarkin’ Soundsystem nights for the last decade, and is bowing out at last in order to (finally!) enjoy his retirement. Come along and dance one last time to the selector who has soundtracked some of the best nights of our lives.
The Sidewalk Doctors: Backing Susan and playing a special set of their own, perennial Skyarkin’ favourites and rocksteady dons The Sidewalk Doctors will move your hips and stir your soul.
Count Skylarkin: The Count has been running Skylarkin’ Soundsystem in Oxford for 13 years, with DJ Derek a regular fixture over the past decade or more. Skylarkin’ Soundsystem nights will of course live on… but there’ll never be another DJ Derek.
