Misty In RootsMisty in Roots have announced that they are about to embark on a 10 date UK tour.

Misty, along with Steel Pulse and Aswad, have been one of the cornerstones of British based Roots Reggae since around 1978 when they strode out with songs containing powerful lyrics inspired by economic decline, spiritual awakening and a general awareness of their African culture. They were also during these musically fertile times at the forefront of “Rock Against Racism”. An organization that put on pioneering concerts that crossed Reggae with Punk and New Wave bands and thus opened them up to a whole new audience as they shared the stage with diverse acts like The Ruts, Tom Robinson and Elvis Costello amongst others.

Criminally overlooked by the BBC on their recent ‘Reggae Britannia’ documentary, their contribution to the British Reggae legacy is indisputable and has helped define UK reggae today.

The ‘Respect Due’ tour starts on the 30th September at The Picket in Liverpool before taking in many of the UK’s major towns and cities. A full list of dates and venues can be found below.
