This is a rescheduled show due to personal injuries, but the wait will be worth it. From Jamaica to London, Jimmy Cliff’s legacy projects power. As one of the older legends still hitting the music scene, Cliff’s vocals are as powerful as ever, his shows intense and fierce.

So profound is his impact on the Jamaican diaspora, that the country awarded him their highest honour, the Order of Merit for achievements in the arts.

Subterania is a perfect hive for global sounds, and if this is anything like Cliff’s track record of performances, for the audience it will feel like going to musical church.
