RiDDimCheF began spinning reggae and funk in 1979 when along with Roy Longbottom he formulated the Joe Average Sound System. The sound became a big hit at parties and pubs in the Clacton area.
  Around 81 they secured a residency at the Westcliff Hotel playing soul, jazz, ska, beat and blues on Friday nights and promoted live RnB and Psychobilly bands on Saturdays. This lasted 3 great years until the hotel eventually closed for redevelopment.
RiDDimCheF moved to London, then Coventry still playing reggae, RnB, funk and soul. A residency in Coventry for 4 yrs led to gigs in Birmingham and Leicester. After a spell working as a researcher in radio and a stint playing in Soho , he moved to Dorset and now spends much time in the Gambia where he is forging musical links and planning to relocate.

Papa Le Gál are a 4-piece band from Bristol, whose style is as eclectic and diverse as their individual musical backgrounds.

Since their formation in early 2009 the group has gone from strength to strength, releasing an acclaimed EP, recording a live session for BBC 6 Music and touring the UK.

Swinging between afrobeat, latin and funk (plus anything else that happens to take their fancy) the Papa crew never fail to get a crowd moving, representing the sounds of summer even in the depths of winter and promoting an eccentric festival atmosphere.

"...one of the hottest live bands in the whole of Bristol." - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

"The upbeat tunes mean you can’t help but dance; and the obvious love the band have for the music they make really comes through in their live performance...." - Rob Larcombe, View From Publishing
