Jazzie B revolutionised black British music when he founded the band Soul II Soul. Their debut 1989 album became an international phenomenon; its blend of soul, reggae and funk landing perfectly amid the exploding house music culture of that year.

We were honoured to be joined by Jazzie B OBE at The British Library to look back on Soul II Soul ‘Club Classics Vol.1’ as part of National Album Day 2019.

National Album Day returns on Saturday 12th October for its second year and once again Classic Album Sundays is the official events partner!

Capturing the psychedelia of the ‘70s, the boldness of ‘80s hiphop, and the faded reverie of the late ‘90s British music scene, check out this playlist of music that inspired Carboot Soul including Quincy Jones, Ohio Players and many more.

Time and Date: Monday 7th October 2019 7pm - 9pm
