The one and only Vivian Goldman enters the fray. Witness this one-woman live "Punky Reggae Party Show". A totally ripping and gripping multi-media presentation, about the glorious time and scene surrounding the reggae/punk/post-punk and hip-hop movement in the 1970's. Cult, world famous and seminal musicians and artists from UK, New York and Jamaica all get checked. The narrative really comes alive through her life spent in collaboration and friendships with most of these players, and footage from artists like The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Bob Marley & the Wailers, PIL, Junior Murvin, Junior Delgado, Lee Perry, The Slits and The Raincoats get woven into the story.

The era, dubbed The Punky Reggae Party by Bob Marley, and it's and its meaning and influence today is explored by Viv and she vividly explains her ideas on why so many people have given up on music as a form of communication and protest.

Known as the 'Punk Professor' this pioneering female emerged from the ferment of Britain's strong counter cultural 70's hotbed. She has taken her can-do attitude and outernational insights to journalism, books, radio, television, university teaching, multi-media lecturing, museum panel moderating, the recording studio and her beat goes on. The show is followed by a Q&A "Reasoning" with Viv.

Also the author of 'The Book of Marley's Exodus', Goldman was Bob Marley's trusted writer and hung out with him in Kingston and London, in the studio, on the road, and as a guest in his home, leaving right before the attempted assassination in his kitchen.
