expand map

Argonaut Sounds return to Blackfriars Basement for their monthly sound system night, and welcome legendary Birmingham MC and reggae artist Murray Man as a special guest.

A veteran of the UK reggae scene, Murray Man's ability to work a dance with sweet melodies of roots n' culture and dancehall vibes has been proved beyond doubt over 20 years. So this night promises a boom session of roots reggae, dancehall and rub-a-dub no doubt. 

No drum pan sound, the full Argonaut Sounds rig will be tuned to perfection and mashing up the dance from 11pm until 3am, and still the night remains only £3 entry.
