The Toots and the Maytals legacy lives on with Toots’ daughter, Leba Hibbert, now fronting the band. They return for a UK tour next Spring including a show at DLWP.The Maytals formed in the 1960’s and updated their name to Toots and the Maytals for their debut album ’Sweet And Dandy’ in 1969. One of the best known ska and rocksteady groups, they also are known for the first use of the word ‘reggae’ in a song on their 1968 single ‘Do The Reggay’.
Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert was considered a reggae pioneer who was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time. The band are known for classic reggae songs such as ’54-46 Was My Number’, ‘Monkey Man’, ‘Pressure Drop’, ‘Funky Kingston’, ‘Broadway Jungle’, ‘Bam Bam’, ’Time Tough’ and ‘Reggae Got Soul’.
Leba Hibbert has released her own recordings and worked with Sly & Robbie, Jimmy Cliff and more.
EVENT INFORMATION
Members’ presale: Thursday 3 October, 10am
General onsale: Friday 4 October, 10am
SEATING INFORMATION: If you are coming to a seated event, you will notice that we have temporary seats in the stalls. This is because we have started early preparatory works on the auditorium as part of our bigger capital project (https://www.dlwp.com/luf/). Major works are still some time off, and you will see that our programme runs well into 2025, but we will keep everyone updated on the next stages of the project as soon as we can.
