*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Concert/Show
Meeting Point: Rote Fabrik / Ziegal au Lac Restaurant?

Sly & Robbie play Zurich.

Two reggae artists which you really should see before...

This from Wikipedia:

Sly and Robbie may well be the most prolific recording artists ever. One estimate is that they have played on or produced some 200,000 songs [1], considering that some of their riddims such as "Revolution" have been used on over 100 songs.

Sly and Robbie also played on Bob Dylan's albums Infidels and Empire Burlesque (using recordings from the Infidels sessions).



Bottle of wine beforehand, anyone?
RSVP'd Yes: 5 (4 members and 1 guests)
  • Uncle Max + 1 guest - Fo'sho
  • HashBrown - Have seen then twice and they are the greatest show on Earth. Incredible musicians.
  • Sheba - Me myself and I and I
  • Stephanwolf - man
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Undoubtedly the finest Reggae musicians.

Cherine Anderson is also very fine. Check out , 'Coming Over Tonight ' ( feeling lonely)

Bumping this Event for anyone wondering what Riddim is and what to do if you have it.

All welcome to join for this concert. I bought their recent album (their gazillionth?) and can give two thumbs up. Not their usual bombastic selves, this time they've mellowed the tone and are going for the slow-food soul-food approach.

And of course, the wine beforehand in the Ziegel-au-Lac to set the scene...

I am getting excited.

Saw them twice at the Commodore in Vancouver. Incredible, incredible shows! Amazing musicians; amazing performers; amazing drum & bass/riddim/dub.

Can't commit to dinner due to work commitments.

Just heard that Sly and Robbie will be doing a Reggae Burns night in Glasgow. Damn and I can't be there.
