Trinity Celebrates 50 Years of Jamaican Independence

2012 is not only the year of the London 2012 Olympics but is also the 50th anniversary of Jamaican Independence. It is also the 180th birthday of the Trinity Centre - the birthplace of some of the best homegrown Bristol talent.

This year's garden party, Sunday 13 May, will be full of all the usual treats – food, workshops, sunshine (fingers crossed!) and the best of Bristol music. In celebration of this special anniversary, this year's line-up will be headlined by Bristol's original roots rock reggae and dub-music collective Dub from Atlantis. These guys have been performing with some of the best known reggae artists and entertaining audiences for twelve years.

Following on from this on Wednesday 16 May, the Trinity stage will be graced by The Skatalites - a seminal ska band from Jamaica. The band, formed in 1964 and, though time has seen the passing of some of the original members, the band still consists of the finest musicians in the reggae genre and-  from the first note to the last - they will have you whipped up into an elated dancing frenzy, in true celebration of their Jamaican roots. Tickets are available from Bristol Ticket Shop 0117 929 9008.
