Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert almost packed in performing after being hit by a glass bottle on stage in 2013. It’s a blessing he did not.
Reggae is a universal genre that appeals to music-minded people, people who generally enjoy all kinds of music. Consequently Toots & the Maytals attract various breeds to their shows. This is a positive trait that unites even the most diverse strangers: Mums and dads mixing with rockers and skinheads.
It's hard to say which was the stranger booking, the billionaire developer who'd stumbled into reality-TV fame, or the Jamaican old-schoolers who back in the '60s actually helped popularize the word reggae.
After some excellent old school reggae and ska 45s had been spun by Liam Curtin and friends Cardiff’s very own Captain Accident And The Disasters were first up.
