SUMMARY:An Evening With Rhoda Dakar
DESCRIPTION:An Evening With Rhoda Dakar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRhoda Dakar is a genuine 2 Tone original. Lead vocalist with The Body snatchers from 1979\, she went on to record with The Specials\, The Special AKA and Madness\, earning seven gold albums and a reputation as\, in Louder Than War’s words\, a “goddamn national treasure.”\n\n\n\nThis is not a concert. Daniel Rachel\, author of Too Much Too Young\, the definitive history of 2 Tone\, sits down with Rhoda for a rare and candid conversation about her life and music. Records are played as the story unfolds\, each one a window into who she is and where she came from. Rhoda then takes the decks\, spinning the music she loves and sharing it the only way she knows how. Daniel closes the night with a 2 Tone set to send you home right. \n\n\nIntimate. Informed. Unmissable. \n\n\n  \n\n\nSupported by Arts Council England and curated in partnership with Chalkpit Cassette Club\, SSP is about building genuine routes into contemporary music for artists and audiences alike.SSP is more than a gig programme. Ifyou’rean artist who wants to play\, a photographer\, writer\, designer\, or someone who just wants to be part of building something new for live music in this town\, we want to hear from you. Get in touch atinfo@stratfordsoundpathways.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRother Street Arts House\, 14 Rother Street\, Stratford-upon-avon\, United Kingdom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9 July 2026. 7pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: £8
