The Prince of Rudeness and the Seamen are
The Judge Dread Memorial
est. 2012
From Sao Paulo to Prague, from New York to Toulouse, everyone agrees: This show is the best Judge Dread homage program on the planet. For more than 5 years members of the Amsterdam skinhead reggae matadors - The Upsessions and "His Prince of Rudeness", Flo Strober; Drummers and singers of the Steadytones from the south of Germany, celebrate the greatest hits of Alex Minto Hughes and move entire halls into ecstatic circles of indulging and singing along and carry the audience on a furious journey with their tremendous wit and the sophisticated vintage band sound "Big 6" and "Dr. Kitch ”to“ Bring back the Skins ”to“ Ska Fever ”to name just a few pearls.
This Early Reggae and Rocksteady Revue is one of the most dazzling figures of reggae, the legendary Judge Dread, which has never been copied so brilliantly - not only catchers, debt collectors, roadies, bouncers & bouncers, radio DJs, bodyguards from Prince Buster or the Rolling Stones but above all the first white “Original TROJAN Artist” with No. 1 hit in Jamaica - and still the world record holder with the most banned songs on the BBC's index - to come back to life!
