Adrians Wall are very proud to announce the return of Forward Ever: A Celebration of Sound System Culture with our Biggest Ever International line up featuring the legendary Channel One Sound System (UK) and our good friends Mungo's Hifi with Eva Lazarus all the way from the UK!!!We are extremely blessed to be able to welcome both Mikey Dread and Ras Sherby from Channel One Sound System for a historic night of heavyweight Sound System Music & Culture featuring 3 Hand Built DIY Sound Systems spread over 2 rooms playing the best in Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, Jungle, Drum & Bass and Beyond.
Channel One have been breaking down barriers since 1979 and are one of the UK's best known and most loved reggae sound systems having run a 40+ year residency at Notting Hill Carnival as well as travelled all over the globe spreading the message and power of reggae & dub music. Channel One won the Red Bull Culture Clash in 2010 (beating Metalheadz and Skream & Benga), performed at the UK's Wembley Arena at the 2012 Culture Clash and have toured the USA, Europe, Mexico and more in recent years. They are also a regular feature at major festivals around the world such as Glastonbury, Womad & Rototom Sunsplash. Put simply, Channel One are the best of the best, and this is dance you cannot miss out on.
It was at Notting Hill carnival 2007 that I first experienced Channel One Sound System, and that event is responsible for planting the Sound System seed in my brain. Without Channel One there would be no Forward Ever dances so do not miss out on this opportunity to see 3 Big, Bad & Heavy Sound Systems strung up together playing to their full potential with a huge line up of special guest DJ’s, Singers, MC’s & Players of Instruments!!!
We are very excited to also welcome our good friends, the amazing Mungo's Hifi all the way from Glasgow in Scotland, back to Forward Ever with the incredible Eva Lazarus on the mic. Mungo's have been mashing up dances with their home made Sound System and releasing quality music on their label Scotch Bonnet for over 20 years. This is your chance to catch one of the best in business doing what they do best, flinging down heavyweight tunes through a fully hand crafted Sound System!!!
