What an amazing night at Hoochie Coochie for Cimarons and Don Letts. After the recent news of new owners at the venue, before the gig Michael (new owner) introduced the band and said with a passion that he and the team will continue the legacy of Warren/Hoochie Coochie and by what I experienced last night they are indeed. Keep up the good work. The band where absolutely tremendous and had the crowd dancing and a set filled with brilliant tunes, Ship Ahoy being my fave of the night. Big shout to their fabulous drummer. Followed by the ever cool Don Letts, supplying phenomenal range of tunes for our ears and feet. One of the best nights I have had in a long time.

The Cimarons were on FIRE in Newcastle Small intimate venue the best way to experience close up and live with the Cimarons. Definitely a must see Reggae originals

About

Get ready to groove to the irresistible reggae beats and infectious melodies of legendary UK reggae pioneers Cimarons who have played with everyone from Bob Marley to Paul McCartney, captivating audiences worldwide with their soul-stirring music and unwavering commitment to spreading love and positivity. Cimarons were “the spark that started the fire” says General Levy. 

Expect timeless hits like "Wake Up Jah Man", "On The Rock", "Reggae Rhapsody", and "Harder Then The Rock”.

This is followed by an exclusive DJ set from legendary filmmaker, Grammy-winner, and cultural icon Don Letts. Don Letts’ reputation and notoriety was established in both the film and music worlds from the late 70's as the DJ that single-handedly turned a whole generation of punks onto reggae before moving into producing and directing documentary films and music videos with Sex Pistols, The Clash, Public Image, Bob Marley, Gil Scot-Heron, The Jam, George Clinton, and Paul McCartney.

Both acts feature in the forthcoming documentary film 'Harder Than The Rock' which will be premiering in cinemas in October as we celebrate Black History Month.
