Live Roots Reggae Music - The Continental - 8pm - 27/9/19

Sep, 20 2019


~You’ve been encouraged by a mate of yours to attend the next gig at The Continental. You’re unsure at first as you’ve been to several events such as the open mic, the classic album night and the tribute acts which were all excellent but they somehow didn’t float your boat.

Your mate remembers though, your love of Bob Marley and Steel Pulse so he’s convinced you’ll like the act appearing soon at the conti.

‘Golty Farabeau Band- Live Roots Reggae’ are coming to The Continental on South Meadow Lane, Preston on Friday 27th September 2019 from 8pm.

Golty is a musician from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. The music he creates is a direct compliment to the laidback way of  life in his hometown. Lyrically, he combines the dregs of colonial influence and incoming socialist governments.

He taught himself the bass and as a teenager he toured professionally, playing bass for a well-known Mauritian artist. His career has found him performing all over the world, becoming a major name in The Seychelles and well regarded for his compositions, rich voice and unique basslines.

Here are his top six highlights :-

  1. Playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1993
  2.  His group making a Swatch advert in the same year
  3.  Receiving a gold medal at the Isles Jeux de la Francophonie in Madagascar in 1997
  4.  Playing alongside Bitty McClean in 2000
  5.  Participating in Fete Afrique in 2002.
  6. He has so far produced nine solo albums.

Perhaps his seventh  highlight could be performing at The Continental? Tickets for Golty’s gig are £10 advance or £12 on the door and are available via SEE Tickets, WeGotTickets, Skiddle. You can also obtain them in person from the Continental’s Bar (01772 499 425 )or through Action Records ( 01772 884 772)

Golty settled in the UK in 2004 where he formed Golty Farabeau and The Jahmadou. Over the next ten years he played to crowds in Manchester and Kendal and built up a local following.

If you're a fan of the likes of BOB MARLEY and STEEL PULSE then you'll LOVE the Golty Farabeau Band.
