Legendary dub master The Scientist performs at the Henry Ward Hall
Hastings prepare for a Spooktacular Halloween night of heavyweight dub and deep bass frequencies as world-renowned dub producer The Scientist takes to the stage at Henry Ward Hall on Friday 31st October. Lisa Quinn of Mikes List supplies the spine-chilling details.
In an exclusive live show, The Scientist (aka Hopeton Overton Brown) will perform his iconic album Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires — a cornerstone of reggae and dub history, originally released in 1981 on Greensleeves Records. Thunderous baselines straight from King Tubby’s studio, heavy dub wizard, and classic rhythms from one of the world’s most iconic dub producers straight from Jamaica.
Joining him on stage is Birmingham’s very own MC Myki Tuff, bringing lyrical fire and pure sound system energy to complement The Scientist’s legendary mix wizardry. Expect heavy rhythms, live dub effects, and a night that celebrates the roots and future of reggae culture.
