On Thursday (December 19th), The Grand Gerrard Theatre (1035 Gerrard St. East) is hosting the Toronto premiere of Rudeboy: The Story of Trojan Records - a film about the influential U.K. reggae record label. Tickets are $10 and doors open at 8 pm.
It's a film about the love affair between Jamaican and British Youth culture told through the prism of the U.K. record label, Trojan Records. Combining archive footage, interview and drama – Rudeboy tells the story of Trojan Records by placing it at the heart of a cultural revolution that unfolded in the council estates and dancefloors of late 60's and early 70' Britain and how that period of immigration and innovation transformed popular music and culture. Told by a cast of legendary artists including Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Toots Hibbert, Ken Boothe, Neville Staple, Marcia Griffiths, Dave Barker, Dandy Livingstone, Lloyd Coxsone, Pauline Black, Derrick Morgan and more. Watch the trailer below.
