Flabba get badder

2006.09.29   |   

Adrian Crestani showcases the vocal talents of Errol ‘Flabba’ Holt – better known as a bass player with the Roots Radics band and for being part of the Morwells but he cut some stunning vocals in his own right.

Some heavy roots tunes! And as usual plenty of DJ, dub and next vocal cuts thrown in. This isn’t a complete discography but is a great overview of a fine singer who was overshadowed by his equally fine bass playing skills.

Respect Firehouse and all Massive.I have sang acapella with Flabba who was really excited when I met him at an Israel Vibration show about the cut ” Their Gonna Talk ” which he had done for Beres Hammond.But so humble is he,we only reasoned as fellow bassies,no mention of his incredible voice.He has now inspired me in wo idiomsor iterations !
