Announcement 12/07/18 We're getting loads of messages asking if we are at The Whitecross St Party this weekend and sadly the answer is no we're not. In very basic terms, a 'public consultation' was carried out last year and the resultant report which came out of it put a lot of emphasis on sound levels which in turn lead the new organisers to the decision not to have us at this year's event. We do feel that the consultation was fundamentally flawed in that it didn't include the views of people in the area who loved the event in its original state and particularly what we have done there since 2012. That said, with the event approaching we don't want to detract from what we're sure will be a great event, albeit in a slightly different format. We wish the organisers well and perhaps in future years the situation will change but for this year we're going to put our feet up and have a rest. |

RIP
Jah Spirit It is with heavy hearts that we have inform you all that on Sunday 18th February we lost a much loved member of our Solution Family. After a short battle with cancer Jah Spirit sadly passed away at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. Spirit was truly one of the kindest, warmest people you could ever hope to meet. A true inspiration who really knew the value of life, friendship and people. The world really needs more people like Jah Spirit and this is a huge loss to so many people who loved him so dearly. Jah Spirit funding page Our thoughts are with all of the Grant family at this difficult time and we would like to take this opportunity to let you all know about a funding page that has been set up to help raise funds in order to give Spirit the wonderful send off he so rightly deserves. Please give what you can, ‘share’, ‘like’ etc on social media and generally spread the word: https://www.gofundme.com/jah-spirit A Facebook group has also been set up for all those who knew and loved Jah Spirit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/549282148784689/ Celebrate the life of Jah Spirit On behalf of the Grant family we would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to celebrate the life of Jah Spirit at his nine night which takes place this Monday 26th Feb, 5pm to 12 midnight at St Michael's Hall, 37 Bounds Green Road, Wood Green N22 8HE with music from Solution Sound System, Jah Youth Roots Ambassador, Rim Bim, Squire Jon, Rasites and Jah Spirit's Nyabinghi Drummers.

Unfortunately
due to circumstances beyond the promotors control the club night/sound This means that Solution will no longer be taking in the sound system and the night will now be more of a traditional live gig running from 19:00 - 23:55. This still looks like a great event with General Roots, Pama International & Zion Train providing the live entertainment and Solution djing on the house pa between bands, however if any of you were particulalry looking foward to the club night/sound system section and have already payed for tickets the promoter will of course offer a refund. |
