PAMA INTL / ROCKERS REVOLT NEWS

THE LEVELLERS TOUR
Pama would like to say a huge thanks to everyone who came out to see them on the recent 10 date Levellers tour. The band loved every minute of it. Highlights were many. Nearly all the beautiful venues were rammed with Levellers devotees who took incredibly well to Pama Intl's reggae sounds. All round a huge success & one more ambition achieved... to play The Forum in London. What a wonderful venue.

THE SPECIALS
Unsurprisingly The Specials are getting rave reviews for their 30th Anniversary Reunion tour. As you may already know Pama Intl have the honor of doing the two closing nights at Brixton Academy with them. This coming Monday & Tuesday. If you're one of the lucky 10,000 that have a ticket, be sure to come and say hi!
