For the final installment of ‘Up On The Roof’ for the summer of 2015, we have a very special August Bank Holiday Monday session with the legendary Norman Jay spinning for the fourth time this summer. This is set to be a great alternative / follow on to Carnival!
Good Times Soundsystem regular Rudy Ranx supports plus fast rising star Tasty Lopez…
As the Good Times founder, Member of the British Empire and all round good egg, Norman has represented the entire spectrum of black music, from soul, funk, disco, reggae and jazz, right through to the more contemporary sounds of house, garage and drum’n’bass.
Norman’s legendary Good Times sound system, has been the go-to spot at Europe’s largest street party, the Notting Hill Carnival, for 30 years.
Good Times was THE party that changed the face of the Notting Hill Carnival and which has become a summertime fixture at festivals worldwide. Jay set up his first sound system, Great Tribulation, in 1979 with his brother Joey, which became Good Times in 1981, the start of a 30-year residency at Notting Hill Carnival. Norman changed the face of the music played there, introducing a range of gritty, soulful styles to complement the predominantly reggae-based sound systems. The move paved the way for the open-minded Carnival we know today, with Good Times still at its core.See you Up On The Roof!
