Black Slate
Clifton Way, Cambridge, CB1 7GX
Description
Formed in London in 1972 by Anthony Brightly, Chris Hanson and Desmond Mahoney, Black Slate was recognized as a band that was able to blend reggae into their own unique sound.
Their first charting hit was "Sticksman", released in 1976, followed by "Mind Your Motion" (TCD, 1979); "Amigo" (Ensign, 1980) broke into the Top Ten Singles Charts and, to this day, this song remains a rallying call for the Rastafarian way of life.
Remaining close friends over the years, original band members Anthony Brightly (keyboards and vocals), Chris Hanson (guitar), and Desmond Mahoney (drums) agreed to reunite and revitalize Black Slate. Adding Colin McNeish on bass guitar, Jesse Brade on vocals, the reunited Black Slate debuted at the prestigious Miami Reggae Festival in November 2013.
Black Slate: a well respected band of talented and creative men who are again ready to bring their special brand of Reggae music to the world.
