Live Music
Rock Steady Reggae Lunch
Boisdale of Canary Wharf
Wayne Hernandez has serious form: sung alongside Tina Turner, Madonna, been in the Kingdom Choir, fronted a 100-piece ensemble at state events. But here he's working through Jamaican music from the late 1960s onward, moving between rocksteady, ska, lovers rock, and reggae with the vocal range that actually shifts with each mood.
A lunch format works for this music in a way an evening concert doesn't. You settle in, trace how the music moves from rocksteady through reggae through lovers rock, all of it from the same formative decades. Boisdale's second-floor restaurant, terrace overlooking Cabot Square, proper wine and whisky selection: this is where the music lands as something to sink into rather than just hear.
It's Jamaican Independence Week. If you want a Saturday lunch built around music rather than just venue, this is it.
