The First Caribbean Music Festival took place at Empire Pool Wembley in September 1969. The following years festival was immortalised in Horace Ove’s film Reggae. Note the misspelling of Caribbean on the front of the programme!.
A special thanks to Kerry who provided the scans.





Hi,
Caribbean Music Festival 1969
I went to this concert in 1969 and I still have the ticket.
Would it be possible to get a PDF download of the programme as mine has got lost over the years.
This was a brilliant concert and I feel proud that I travelled with a few of my mates on the train down from the Wirral, Cheshire at the time of this feast of reggae music. Superb.
Many thanks,
Alan Hughes, Bromborough, wirral
Bim and Bam, the Jamaican comedians do not seem to appear on this programme – were they there as a supporting act? If not, does anyone know when they did appear? They were on a Jamaican music programme at the Empire Pool Wembley in the second half of the 1970s.
