I encounter that here in Tokyo in the Japanese reggae scene as well. The interesting bit for me was Gentlemen’s comment about having learned Jamaican English.

It's a shame given it's a UK paper that they didn't mention UK artists such as Ava Leigh, Adelle Harley etc but this is just nitpicking to be honest. I totally agree about Albaroise, respect to Gentleman but he's not in the same league.

I wish the Guardian would use more stuff by people like Dave Stelfox rather than knobheads like Alex Petridis and Paul Lester but let's face it, despite all the blogs, podcasts and comment they have these days, it's not half the paper it once was. We saw Gentleman at the same gig we saw Stone Love (and Capleton and Sizzla too) in Negril and I remember being surprised at how accepting of him the locals were - but his music didn't make a massive impression on me, to be honest. Collie Buddz sounds good though, might investigate him further. But how could anyone talk about white reggae and not mention John Alford? Shame on you Dave! Interesting piece.
