Noted for their blistering shows, South London collective Soothsayers have been kicking up a live storm with their organic mix of reggae, afro-beat, funk and urban jazz for over 10 years. But where their debut Lost City drew on jazz and African music and acclaimed follow-up Tangled Roots channeled funk and hip-hop alongside afro-beat and reggae, One More Reason brings their love of dub to the fore ? harnessing some deep dub grooves to perfectly compliment their pulsating Afro-beat rhythms and mighty horn arrangements.

Band tour line up: Adesose Wallace (vocals/perussion), Idris Rahman ( Sax/vocals) , Robin Hopcraft (trumpet/vocals) , Phil Dawson (guitar), Jonny Phillips (guitar), Patrick Illingworth (Drums) , Eustace Williams (bass).
