We regret to announce that Ujima Radio 98FM is currently off air until a situation entirely out of our control can be resolved.

On Tuesday 11 March, at 13.00, the power supply to Ujima House, where the Ujima Studio is, was cut off. The landlords, Ceed Ltd, have not been paying the utility bills, despite the fact that Ujima Radio are fully up to date with all rent and rate payments.

Ujima House is owned by Bristol City Council but leased to a company, Ceed Ltd, who act as landlords, renting the space to us. Ujima Radio have been paying rent and rates to the landlords, but, according to the court warden, the utility bills have not been paid for a long time.

We are calling on Bristol City Council, as owners of Ujima House, to intervene and ensure that power is reinstated to the building so that Ujima Radio, and the other community organisations that rent space in the building, can operate again.

We are asking all friends and listeners of Ujima Radio to join us at 10:00am on Friday 14th March in front of the station, to take a stand, show their support and urge the Council to take responsibility for their building and resolve the situation.

A vital community service has been taken away and we need to ensure that it is now restored.

Please ensure you turn up with as many people as possible and make our voice be heard in celebration of Ujima Radio.

For further information and interviews please contact Roger Griffith, Chair of Ujima Radio on 07770-266311.

The organisers behind Bristol’s Teachings in Dub have announced their line-up for the next chapter starting off the New Year.

The special night will feature three stars of the roots reggae scene on one sound system, including KIBIR LA AMLAK, DUBKASM featuring SOLO BANTON, and ABA SHANTI I.

It takes place at the Trinity Centre in Bristol on 31 January 2014 with tickets priced at £10 in advance.

Local sound system KIBIR LA AMLAK is one of the most popular sounds to come out of the UK in recent times, with a very spiritual approach and ear for perfection when it comes to sound.

Legendary Bristol duo DUBKASM, which includes selector DJ STRYDA and musician DIGISTEP, will be joined by one of the best mic men the UK has to offer – SOLO BANTON.

To top off the bill, ABA SHANTI I will be playing off KIBIR LA AMLAK’s stacks. He is rightfully regarded as one of the greats of UK sound system culture, and will bring his selection of classic dubplates and roots specials.
