** Macka B Biography **



Macka B's words, sound and lyrical power were forged in UK sound system culture. Inspired by H.I.M. Ras Tafari and pioneer DJ’s such URoy, IRoy & Big Youth Macka developed a gift for lyrical flow which caught the ears of Fashion records who bought him to London to record his first record "Bible Reader"



A link up with Mad Professor led him to a string of hit albums and singles for the Ariwa Sounds label and an extensive tour schedule increasing Macka’s international profile while delivering a crossover chart in Hawaii with ‘Bob’.



Over the years Macka has collaborated with a veritable who’s who of talent including Horace Andy, Freddie Mcgregor, Steel Pulse, Luciano and Gregory Isaccs while sharing the stage with a whole heap of legendary reggae icons.

We're also pleased to be making collections on the night for Fairfield House in Bath. The property was the home to His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia during 1936–41, the five years he spent in exile from the invasion of Mussolini’s troops into his homeland, then known as Abyssinia. This building is of great importance to the Rastafarian faith and culture worldwide. Please give generously to help save the legacy of this iconic building.
