Book Macka B
‘The highlight of the night was the fantastic Macka B with his latest project The Roots Ragga Band, whose Prince Far-I style toasting over a lively concoction of roots, ska and dancehall spread positive messages of gender equality, self respect, ganja legalisation and anti-racism to an enthusiastic audience.’ Lars Donohoe

Boomtown Festival

‘Cult toaster Macka B amazed an unsuspecting audience with his positive reggae vibrations and songs about being a vegan. It was really uplifting, lively stuff and great to see people not letting heavy wellies and mud stop them from skanking.’ Rob Makin

Bestival

‘Meanwhile on the main stage Macka B gave such a fervent performance that some of the revellers climbed over the barrier into the photography pit to dance. The man of a thousand opinions is one of the more ubiquitous acts in Europe as he and the horn backed Roots Ragga band know how to get the kids onside every time.’ Angus Taylor

One Love Festival

‘And we are definitely warmed up by the high tempo educational humour of Wolverhampton-born reggae artist  Macka B. In an hour, he references the music of James Bond and the legend of Bob Marley, in addition to telling us a thing or two about the wonders of women, the dangers of fast food and the benefits of a vegan diet. Given more time, you sense he’d re-iterate his own History Of The World to us in dancehall, dub step fashion; and we would happily hear it.’ Simon Fallaha
