Hurled out of the desolate streets of Stepney at 18 and into the nascent Public Image Ltd (PIL), Jah Wobble was fundamental in shaping the virulent nihilism of punk into sonic and melodic extremes that evoked everything from dub reggae to Stockhausen. Wobble was the first musician of that era to be taken seriously by the older music press, rapidly earning the reputation of a wilful auteur. This was all the more stunning when it was revealed that he had only just picked up a bass, lent to him by Sid Vicious.
Following the huge critical success of his 2004 stunning success "I Could Have Been a Contender' Wobble is back with his emotional driven masterpiece 'Alpha One Three." Wobbles latest and most vital album happily coincides with the much-celebrated 30-year anniversary of British Punk – a scene in which he played such a pivotal role. Now he's going out with the English Roots Band and playing the 100 Club as the exclusive London gig on his current world tour.
