King Volts - Live at the Tumble Inn 1987. The legendary Newcastle/Bradford reggae band onstage in Bradford. Brisk, dub-heavy live sound. Solid, irie festival vibes.
King
Volts formed in 1982 in Fenham, Newcastle and were regulars on the
Northeast gig circuit during the mid-80s, supporting visiting acts like Black Roots. Anyone see them at the
Riverside? The band moved to Bradford in 1986 where they quickly built
up a local following alongside their King Volts Sound System while traveling to play at free festivals. Key
members emigrated and, sadly, the band split in 1987.
Volts reformed for a great reunion gig in 1988 at the 1in12 Club, Bradford, another memorable night.
Respect
to Igger, Martin, Cess, Steve, John, Andy, Mickey, Diccon, The Rootsman,
Larry and everyone. King Volts are still fondly remembered. If any of
you come on here, link up, leave a comment.... Paul.
