TIGHTEN UP CRU always deliver the goods as far as special guests are concerned but it's always extra special for us when those guests happen to be old mates.

DAVE HENDLEY and selecta extraordinaire STU TOLHURST make a welcome return to the Tighten Up control tower.

These guys had the crowd singing along from their first tune of the nite last time they passed thru and the party didn't stop til security manhandled us all out the door!!! And with Dave's "Rebel Music" compilation for Trojan recently sighted as one of the best Reggae collections of all time in Q Magazine (I bought the original back when I was a kid!) you better believe you're in for a nite of pure musical entertainment of the highest order!

Top choons, rewinds galore and the wickedest vibes in London - GUARANTEED!!!
And we're still completely FREE!!!

We do it 'cos we love ya - REACH!!!

COMMENTS FOR LONDON ROOTSMEN (taken from the blood and fire forum

jah youth imo are one of the best selectors in the world, pure yard style. killer ja music, old and new, and some of the best one-away dubplates known to man! dubplates by prince allah, peter broggs, fred locks, michael prophet, and best till last, daweh congo to name a few!
Be warned: they do play a fair bit of 'major-key,' softer-style roots though- they haven't come from the Jah Shaka school of selecting which is what makes them refreshing. They're easily one of the most dread sounds out there... rasta to the core.
No one can touch their specials. BEEZ and JUGZ

Yes Jah Youth sound number one roots and culture soundsystem. Real roots reggae music. Well its not so much tin pan techno reggae but to my ears its neither "softer-style" or "major key". Regarding dubs have to add Jnr Delgado to the list! No sound cyan test the roots ambassadors!!!! See you all there. PETER
