Come Here To Me!

This Saturday sees the tenth installment of the Punky Reggae Party club nigt in Dublin. We’ll be taking over the the The Dark Horse Inn George’s Quay for a sizzling selection of rudeboy reggae, stompin’ soul and premium punk rock.

The last time our guest DJ Ferdia was behind the decks was the TCD Ball 31 years ago! Legendary singer with one-gig-wonder Johnny Jurex & The Punk Pistols (1976), original punks Rocky de Valera and The Rhythm Kings (1977-79) and respected roots rockers The Rhythm Kings (1980 – 83), MacAnna has been a leading name in Dublin’s punk, new wave and rock music scene for well over three decades. Also a novelist, playwright and television producer MacAnna’s 1991 coming-of-age novel The Last Of The High Kings was made into a was made into a Hollywood movie starring Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Rea and Christina Ricci in 1996.

Our second guest DJ is the ever enduring Traycee who has been a stalwart DJ on the international ska & reggae scene for over 20+ years. Traycee, whose 7inch collection is absolutely legendary, was previously behind the “A Trip To Oi! Town” zine and Knockin’ Boots Promotions which brought over such legendary punk acts as Demob and ska legends as Symarip. Traycee brought the house down last time she played a Punky Reggae Party back in February 2010.
