African Head Charge

Experimental/tribal percussion act with a heavy dub and 'world' music slant led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Has had various members since forming in 1981 but Bonjo I has been a constant feature. Most of the actual music in the early days was written by Adrian Sherwood and the band was basically a vehicle for his more experimental side for the then fledgling On-U Sound label. However, as the band developed throughout the 80's, Bonjo's role became more prominent. By the time of the 5th album, the classic 'Songs Of Praise', he was vocalist as well as main multi-percussion instrumentalist. He also became the primary songwriter. Despite this other writers also became involved, most notably Skip McDonald of Tackhead.

Sadly due to ongoing management reshuffle the UK tour in April & May is being rescheduled and the Brighton show that was supposed to take place on Saturday 2nd May will now take place on Friday 2nd October.

Your tickets will remain valid for the new date however if you are unable to attend the new date please get a refund from point of purchase.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Statement from African Head Charge

African Head Charge would like to announce that the shows scheduled for April and May will need to be postponed. As the project enters a new phase under new management, we have taken the decision to pause these dates in order to ensure that all live activity is organised and delivered in the right way, with the care and attention that the music, the band, and audiences deserve. We understand that this will be disappointing to those who were planning to attend, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. We are very grateful to the promoters, venues, and supporters for their patience and understanding. African Head Charge remains fully committed to returning to the stage, and we hope to announce rescheduled dates as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support.
