Early Reggaer, Rocksteady, Roots, Lovers Soul, Ska…

After more than 8 years of dances, this one is the final Vocal or Version session at The Rum Shack.

Come along for one last night celebrating the sounds that have carried us through the last 8+ years — reggae, dub, roots, ska, rocksteady and more, all played the proper way on original press vinyl. From the bounce of 60s ska, through the depth of 70s roots, to the sweetness of lovers rock, this is music that’s brought people together on the dancefloor time and time again.

Over the years, Vocal or Version has been shaped by so many incredible guest DJs and MCs — each one bringing their own energy, selections and spirit to the dance. Massive thanks to every single one of you who stepped up and made these nights what they were.

And most importantly — thank you to all the dancers. Everyone who came down, moved their feet, felt the music, and helped build something special every couple of months. The vibe you created is what made this more than just a night — it became a community.

For the final time, gather to celebrate it all.

Come early, stay late — and let’s send it off properly.
