Toots no more for The Garden Party
Going to The Garden Party? We have some good news! (But then we also have some bad news).
POD Concerts has announced the unfortunate concellation of Toots & The Maytal's appearance at The Garden Party. Boo! But they're being replaced by another Jamaican legend: Desmond Dekker. Yay!
Toots cancelled on doctor's orders due to to his failure to recover from a knee operation. Ticket-holders of The Garden Party are not the only ones to be disappointed, the first two weeks of his European tour - which included a proposed slot supporting the Rolling Stones - are also no more.
However, Desmond Dekker and his six-piece band, The Aces, are ready to take over the headline slot. His hits include 'Isrealites' and 'You Can Get It If You Really Want'.
Get those steel drums ready!
