News | Rompa’s Red Stripe Rub-A-Dub Club | Shapes | 23 August

The Rompa’s Reggae Shack Rub-A-Dub club sponsored by Red Stripe is back at Shapes Hackney for another series of vinyl-only events with an open deck policy.

This time around, the legendary King Tubby’s Sound System will be performing as special guest headliners. In March 1970 King Tubby’s hi-fi was born making founder Cecil Rennie at the age of 19, one of the youngest sound system owners in the UK. The name was styled after the legendary Dub Master from Jamaica, Osbourne Ruddock AKA King Tubby who Cecil saw as his inspiration and mentor in Reggae Music. This friendship and close working relationship remained right up to the day of Osbourne’s untimely death in 1989.

Rompa’s Red Stripe Rub-A-Dub Club fully utilises Shapes’ outdoor courtyard for a wicked FREE outdoor event full of good music, good food & good vibes. Food is available all day from White Men Can’t Jerk and there will be a Hot Wing Challenge with cash prize held over the course of the day. Attractions also include a well-stocked record stall and Rompa’s Rum Punch.
