The UK Players are a hard steppin' five piece roots reggae dub band originating from the West Country. The members met in 1996 at a weekly reggae session held in Salisbury, where the seeds were sown to form a band. They rehearsed 2-3 times a week and cut their teeth on the local live music circuit, quickly developing their sound and crowd. The band recorded their debut single 'Further' at Jah Works Studio. Produced by Rej Forte, with Idren Natural on lead vocals. The release led to a tour of the UK and so began a lengthy liaison with InI Oneness. The band have supported such artists as Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti, Iration Steppa,Junior Delgado, Dreadzone,. Over the years and 100's of gigs later they have developed their own unique sound and are well versatile at adapting/interpreting rhythms to suit a vocalists needs, as their work with InI Oneness, Wayne McArthur, Tony Roots and Barry Isaacs shows. They can also hold an audience tight with their dub instrumentals. Their debut album 'Take Heed' featuring InI Oneness was released in the summer 2000. Once again produced and mixed by Rej Forte.In 2003 UK Players took a 2 year break, now returning with a new Original set, Well worth checking out. Definitely one of the most hardworking and exciting new bands in the reggae world right now.
