Drummer Sam Hobbs (Work Money Death) and bassist Neil Innes (The Sorcerers, The Lewis Express) built *The Return of the Flying Hats* on 20 years of playing together—Innes’s love of Afro-American dance music and Hobbs’s deep dive into soul, R&B, and Caribbean styles. Together with organist Bob Birch (The New Mastersounds) and guitarist Chris Dawkins (Nightmares On Wax)
A total triumph that takes the imprint of boss reggae, skinhead grooves and versioned funky stompers and runs with it, creating 100% DYNAMITE action in the year 2025. It immediately sounds as if it was created in the 60's tough reggae heyday and sits aside a great cannon of distintively funky reggae tunes. This is ESSENTIAL!
