WIN: Jimmy Cliff Tickets
Laurie Tuffrey , May 1st, 2013 11:47

The reggae kingpin's coming to the UK in June, and we've got two pairs of tickets to give away

Jamaican reggae pioneer Jimmy Cliff returned from an extended hiatus in 2012, first with the Sacred Fire EP and then last year's Rebirth full-length. The album was produced by Rancid's Tim Armstrong and featured a mixture of his own material and covers of cuts by The Clash, Joe Higgs and Rancid themselves. Keep an eye on the Quietus over the coming weeks for a full interview with Cliff about his career, and in the meantime have a watch of his Letterman performance of 'One More' from the album below.

He's about to embark on a world tour this month, which sees him making stops in the UK in June and July - here are the dates:

JUNE
Sun 23 - O2 ABC, Glasgow
Mon 24 - The Plug, Sheffield
Tue 25 - O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, London

JULY
Sat 6 - Hop Farm Festival, Paddock Wood
Sun 7 - The Beat-Herder Festival, The Ribble Valley
