Channel One Sound System is one of the UK’s best known and most loved reggae sound systems. Having taken over the running of their father’s sound in 1979, Mikey Dread and his brother Jah T took the sound to local blues parties and dances.

Channel One play a unique selection of conscious reggae, exclusive dubplates and uplifting steppas.
