British reggae icon, Macka B is gearing up to hit the road for his 'Health Is Wealth Tour', which kicks off on Thursday 12th October in Glasgow.
Born to Jamaican parents in the Midlands, Macka B grew up listening to reggae, as well as learning to play the violin and singing in the school choir. He formed the Exodus sound system and became a Rastafarian following his 1982 trip to Jamaica.
His 1986 debut album, Sign Of The Times was received well in the UK, and he has gone on to release a steady flow of material, as well as touring both alone and with other respected artists including The Wailers and Lee Perry.
