O2 Your Country Live: Tarrus Riley / David Rodigan – 8^th November 2010, Shepherds Bush Empire

Reggae stars Tarrus Riley and David Rodigan got O2 Your Country Live 2010 off to a flying start last night at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire. Braving the autumn weather, attendees were already queuing down the road before doors opened giving the proceedings a carnival atmosphere from the word go. Legendary DJ David Rodigan kicked the night off with a bang treating the crowd to a hit packed lesson in reggae, dub and roots that led to infections dancing throughout the venue. Jamaican star Tarrus Riley and his Blak Soil Band headlined the night combining a strong roots reggae tradition with modern showmanship; fully deserving of a rapturous encore at the end of their set.

Tonight’s show features the sensational Nigerian MOBO award winning Nneka supported by MTV Africa’s Best Performer Samini, DJ Richy Pitch and M3NSA.
