Laid Blak were good. Lee Scratch Perry was not. For £25 a ticket I expect to able to hear the main act. I could make out about one word per song, his mic kept screeching and the back up singers didn't come through. Sad when you see an amazing artist that doesn't do a sound check before. His fans who have paid a lot of money and traveled to see him, he could at least make sure they can hear him.

A rather short, 76 year old black man has a predominantly white middle-aged audience in eating out of the palm of his hand. The house is full, and rightly so, for he is the greatest living Jamaican musician, period.
He is, as is to be expected, as nutty a box of frogs, he rants on between tunes in an undecipherable patois, just the odd words can be made out “Coxsone” and “Marley” feature.
As for the performance, I would rate this as “good” rather than the “excellent” as it was last year. Is it age catching up in the Upsetter? I think not.
I am going to be a little critical of the “band”, if you want to call them that. There is a old Rasta proverb that says Reggae Bass players should not be using a Steinberger Bass; but a more traditional 4 string instrument with a head. I suspect family man Barrett would not use such a thing.
A little practice goes a long way; generally you don’t hear the bass player swear at the keyboard player, I guess they just lost their composure in the presence of the great man.
That aside, a very good performance, the highlight being, as Scratch would put it “the fish” or Roast Fish and Corn Bread to you. A great tune done very well.
So the question we must ask, how long can he go on for? I don’t see him doing a “Pope” and stepping down while he can still breath, and I for one will be a fan until the end.

Haven't been to the jazz cafe in a good few years - was not surprised to see it is exactly the same, which is a shame as it really isn't a well designed venue - was very squashed. the vocal sound wasn't great, which was the focus of the gig - oh well. Lee Scratch was his delightful self, he's getting on a bit, but enjoyed the performance, tight reggae band also, but a shame they didn't do a more heavy dub vibe. After the gig, the Jazz Cafe turned into an awful 80s disco!? Why they didn't continue with reggae I do not know, guess it's all about the money.
3 Stars due to venue and lack of dub.

Great night of reggae at the intimate Jazz Cafe.
Superb support from Laid Blak,great mixture of ska & reggae sounds(their album is definitely worth downloading!)Really nice that they were seen in the crowd after their set ended.
Lee "Scratch" Perry certainly knows how to work a crowd!For a man of nearly 77 he still has the energy to entertain.Have heard much about his performances not always being that great,but we thoroughly enjoyed the night & not knowing that many of his songs(not surprising considering his vast back catalogue)didn't matter.
