Some call him a genius, others claim he's certifiably insane, he might be both. The important thing is that Lee Perry is one of reggae's greatest innovators, who has worked with Bob Marley & The Wailers, Junior Murvin and The Clash. He's also one of the original creators of dub.

Scratch will play the Red Box on February 19. He'll be backed by a full band, which will feature his dub protégé, The Mad Professor. A regular on the UK dub scene, The Mad Professor was last seen in Ireland in November, playing gigs with Horace Andy.

Tickets priced at €24.50 are available from Ticketmaster and the usual outlets.
