Izzizi
Act fee £800 to £995
Izzizi are keen to deliver a great reggae performance to all our audiences and at your venue/event/festival.
Izzizi: a ten/eleven-piece, powerful, partying, UK-based, reggae reviving outfit that deliver a mix of roots influenced 'old school' style reggae with some great up-tempo partying reggae vibes. Formed in 2010, Izzizi are currently performing non-stop two-...hour-plus sets with an increasing repertoire of new songs and revived reggae classics evoking comments like 'Amazing sound', 'Absolutely brilliant' and 'Maximum respect'. Founded upon the love of roots reggae, Izzizi (pronounced It's Easy) take no short-cuts providing all the ingredients of traditional 70's style reggae, thus featuring several male and female lead vocalists and its own brilliant horn section. Combine this with excellent keyboards, guitars, drums and percussion to complete the line-up; along with occasional guests, a little experimentation - the result is a reggae force not to be missed.
