Janet Kay made history as the first British Black female artist to enter the UK Top 40 with a reggae single. Her iconic falsetto on “Silly Games”, produced by Dennis Bovell, became a cultural landmark and remains one of the most celebrated recordings in Lovers Rock. With its soaring top line and hypnotic rhythm, the track defined an era and established her as a pioneering voice in British reggae.Carroll Thompson brought a soulful intimacy to Lovers Rock through her unmistakable tone and deeply expressive songwriting. Her debut album, featuring enduring classics such as “I’m So Sorry” and “Hopelessly in Love”, sold over a million copies and was recently named The Greatest Lovers Rock Album of All Time by Mojo Magazine. Blending gentle grooves with lyrical depth, her work shaped the sound of a generation.
Together, these two remarkable artists embody the heart of Lovers Rock. Their live performances are a masterclass in melody, harmony and storytelling and offer a rare opportunity to experience the timeless elegance of British reggae performed by its definitive voices.
