About This Event

Hailed as the undisputed “Queens of Lovers Rock,” Janet Kay (MBE) and Carroll Thompson are the pioneering voices of the romantic, soul-infused British reggae movement that defined a generation in the late 1970s and 1980s. Janet Kay made history in 1979 with “Silly Games,” which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and made her the first British-born Black female artist to showcase a reggae song on Top of the Pops. Carroll Thompson burst onto the scene shortly after, releasing her million-selling, self-penned 1980 debut album Hopelessly in Love—later recognized by Mojo Magazine as the greatest Lovers Rock album of all time—which yielded enduring classics like “I’m So Sorry“. Having both sold over a million records globally, these two legendary artists frequently unite as a powerhouse touring duo, enchanting audiences worldwide with their signature warm harmonies and a beautifully nostalgic journey through the golden era of British Lovers Rock. *I've bought my ticket already* 😊 and there are still early bird tickets available* Meet times will be shared closer to the event ❤️ https://foxfirkin.com/event/queens-of-lovers-rock-janet-kay-carroll-thompson/
