The Metropolitan Black Police Association presents an irresistible night of reggae grooves and upbeat vibes.

The Celebration of Life Concert returns with reggae legends Aswad, featuring The Aswad Horns. After two decades on the music scene and fifteen albums under their belts, 'The Lions of Ladbroke Grove' remain one of the country's best loved reggae bands, mixing musical genres, from dub and reggae, to lover’s rock and urban roots.

Saxophonist Courtney Pine’s innovative style fuses jazz and groove – tonight he’s joined by lyrical guitarist Cameron Pierre for a special duo set.

The sensational Lifeforce Band will be joined by guest vocalists - MOBO nominated Guvna B, Kersha Bailey and Vula Malinga, who are all hotly tipped for 2010.

This special Celebration of Life Concert supports Revival, the anti-violence campaign which focuses on the need to cherish and respect all life.
