RIP: We are sad to report the passing of Jimmy Cliff, the great reggae singer, aged 81, best known for starring in The Harder They Come, and for hits such as You Can Get it if You Really Want, The Harder They Come, and Many Rivers to Cross. There’s a rumour we might busk one of his numbers on Friday this week at the Rose and Crowne - see gigs below!
