Manchester, UK – On Thursday 27th November, Echoes welcomes a truly special night of rhythm and roots as reggae legend Maxi Priest and iconic DJ David Rodigan unite at Manchester Cathedral for a genre-defining celebration of British-Caribbean music and culture.

Expect smooth vocals, deep dub grooves, and a masterclass in sound system heritage as two titans of reggae bring an unforgettable blend of live performance and high-energy DJing to one of the city's most historic venues.

He’ll be joined by David Rodigan — the voice of reggae on UK airwaves for decades — whose encyclopedic knowledge, magnetic energy, and deep crates have made him a legend in his own right.
