Find out more about the band. They have toured with Bob Marley and the Wailers, and The Jackson Five.ΜύΜύΜύ After 33 years of smash hit songs, sold-out tours and inspirational messages, Third World are back on tour, and heading to Newquay.  Catch the reggae legends in Newquay Born out of a drive to write and perform original material incorporating reggae, rock and funk, and a desire to tour and take music to a wider audience, Third World was conceived in 1973. A teenaged guitarist, cellist and singer named Stephen 'Cat' Coore - then with the Inner Circle Band - left the safety of the 'Circle' to pursue this dream. 'Cat' and a fellow musician from another band, conceived and launched the band Third World. Soon after they were joined by Michael 'Ibo' Cooper on keyboards and vocals, and Their Kingston premiere in 1974 playing reggae and funk, earned them great reviews and gigs, as they were the only group of that era composed of young, talented, trained instrumentalists who could sing and would take chances on musical grounds others feared to tread.  Hear the classic hits on 17 October A few months later, they were opening for the Jackson Five at the Jamaican National Before long, they were playing in England where Island Records' Chris Blackwell saw them perform. Blackwell immediately offered them a record deal and a slot on a European tour, opening for one of his artistes, Bob Marley and The Wailers. 'Third World', their debut album in 1976, featured the hypnotic 'Satta Amasa Gana'. The band are best remembered for their worldwide Top Ten hit 'Now That We Found Love' (a disco-reggae remake of an O'Jays tune), which in time was turned into a rap tune by Heavy D and the Boyz.  The Reggae greats are coming to Newquay But with this dawning swiftly came the shattering closure to the most important chapter in the history of reggae music - the passing of Bob Marley. This closure was marked by two events in particular. The release of Stevie Wonder's tribute to Marley, 'Master Blaster (Jammin')'; and the salute to Bob by Third World at Reggae Sunsplash that summer, during which Wonder joined Third World onstage to perform 'Master Blaster'. The magic that filled the air that early summer morning was harnessed by Wonder who quickly wrote, produced and arranged Third World's next international blockbuster, released in 1982, 'Try Jah Love'. This song became the group's anthem, solidifying them in the archives of musical history as the promoters of love and spirituality. Catch all the great hits at Newquay's Barracuda Club on Wednesday 17 October 2007 when Third World comes to the Cornish resort.The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is not responsible for the content of external websites last updated: 13/09/07 SEE ALSOYou are in: Cornwall > Entertainment > Clubbing > Dig Out Your Flares |
