“The band was incredible…they made it all sound effortless..isn’t that the secret of great music ! sounded like it was just falling off the stage.. beautiful tight riddims, the crowd was totally invested in the notes they were playing” – Brian Travers, UB40
It wouldn’t be Shambala – or Roots Corner – without them! Friendly Fire Band is one of the most active live reggae and dancehall outfits in the UK’s traditional reggae capital, Birmingham, both on stages and in the studio.
Composed of an international lineup of musicians, Friendly Fire Band comfortably juggles traditional Roots, Dancehall or One Drop riddims, and has become an institution on the Birmingham Reggae Scene, having backed a host of artists from Dawn Penn to the late Michael Prophet, and releasing music on the Friendly Fire Music label.
