BEWDLEY Festival has announced that Soul II Soul star Jazzie B will be featuring at this year’s event.

The innovative musician, activist, and Soul II Soul founder will take to the stage at St Georges Hall on October 8.

The DJ has also built a parallel career away from the Grammy award-winning collective.

He has been a regular on London radio since Kiss FM was a pirate – he is currently on Solar Radio, Sundays 2-4 pm and also does a variety of voice-overs for radio and television.

He has had a spell running Motown in the UK, designed a sneaker for the Lacoste Legends range and presented James Brown with the Diesel U Music Lifetime Achievement award.

Jazzie B will be recounting episodes featured in his book “Reflections of My Journey.”

Tickets cost £20 and are available via boxoffice.bewdleyfestival.org.uk/
