Black Roots
Black Roots are a roots reggae band from the St. Paul's area of Bristol, England formed in 1979. They toured extensively in the UK and Europe in the 1980s and early 1990s releasing several albums and singles during that time before disappearing from the music scene for about 10 years. Their comeback began when Soundicate/Makasound, a record label in France, released an album in 2004 and followed it up with another in 2007 (both were compilations made up from their extensive back catalogue). In December 2010 they performed their first live show for some 20 years at the Trinity Hall in Bristol and since then they have been active once again playing selected live dates, writing, composing and arranging songs and music, and releasing their first studio album in over 20 years in September 2012 entitled 'On The Ground'. More reissues and new material releases are planned.
