Celebrating John Holt

We’re honouring the legacy of one of Jamaica’s most recognisable voices, with a full live band performance. John Holt defined the island's sound, penning a catalogue of standout originals, while lending his reggae sheen to many of the era's treasured hits - many of which will come to life on our stage. His sunny, laidback sound is brought to life by vocalist Michael Mendez - with roots deep in Kingston, Jamaica, he cut his teeth as backing singer for some of reggae’s greats, including Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor and Sizzla. This event is not in association with John Holt.
