I worked with a lot of wonderful JAMAICAN ARTISTS in the late seventies and early eighties! For me one of the greatest of them all was PRINCE FAR I! I first met and began to work with him in the late seventies and toured extensively with him during the early eighties, until his tragic death in Jamaica in 1983. The album ‘Under Heavy Manners’ is his great classic and on this album you hear and indeed feel the full majesty of the man and his voice. ADRIAN SHERWOOD to his eternal credit brought the ‘ROOTS ENCOUNTER TOUR’ to the UK in the late seventies, featuring PRINCE FAR I, PRINCE HAMMER & BIM SHERMAN and it is still one of the greatest Roots Reggae Shows I have ever seen, and was privileged to be involved in promoting.

FAR I could be a difficult man to work with, but he was a great artist and the friendship and many experiences and adventures I had with him are things I will always remember and treasure.
