40 years after the release of his iconic '1000 Volts Of Holt' album, John Holt & Freddie McGregor will be performing all of their biggest hits at Brixton Academy's Valentines special. John Holt is one of Jamaica's finest songwriters and a real pioneer of reggae. He's penned a number of a classics, including 'The Tide Is High' - later covered by Blondie and Atomic Kitten - and was one of the first artist to fuse reggae with lush orchestral arrangements. To make this even more of an event to remember, support will be provided by Freddie McGregor. As another gem of the Jamaican reggae scene, McGregor will be filling the grandiose venue with his sounds of soulful voice. Both men have written some of the most romantic and enchanting songs of our time, so this really should be a fun-filled night to enjoy with your loved one.   
 

About Brixton Academy

This former cinema with its art deco interior, proscenium arch and 140ft dome is London's most celebrated venue for live music, winning Best Live Venue at the NME awards for 7 years in a row. The famous sloping floor means there are great views wherever you're standing, though keeping your feet can be a problem at the more raucous rock gigs. More about Brixton Academy
