Bob Marley
Beginning his music career in the early '60s Bob spent most of his early career writing, producing, and recording with fellow musicians Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer under the name "Bob Marley and the Wailers". Although the group split in 1974 Marley continued to produce music underneath the group's Wailers name. Releasing over 13 studio albums Marley enjoyed much success in Jamaica and globally, including in the US and the UK. Marley is widely heralded as the father of popular reggae with his popularity bringing further attention to conversations about Rastafarianism and cannabis use.

Brilliant production & evening
Spoilt a bit by over zealous staff within the theatre who seemed to go out of their way to go against the spirit of the show.
