About your host
Dr J is of Sierra Leonean and Liberian heritage who, as a result of his love of music, became an accidental DJ since his school days in Freetown hosting parties, discos, and as DJ backup to live acts.
He continued his craft since arriving in Bristol in the late 1980s covering classical and contemporary music from around the world – Pop, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, UK
Garage, Latin, etc. and including all African Beats & Rhythms on the continent and diaspora – hosting African Nights in the clubs, pubs, and community centres in Bristol and South West England.
Having worked at a range of radio stations, Dr J’s heart landed here at Ujima Radio! Starting out as a life-long Ujima Radio 98 FM volunteer since its formative days and as a presenter starting with World Anthems and currently African Anthems – both shows featuring worldwide Afrocentric music.
Tune in on 98FM and DAB in Bristol and worldwide online and as soon as the show ends at midnight it will be available on our Listen Again service!
Massive Attack have announced the home-town gig this Sunday 25th August will be an eco-friendly event to provide a model for a more climate-conscious live music industry! Gwan Massive!

This year we couldn’t fail to see the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean, which on record is the strongest hurricane in history to form in June, in the Atlantic Ocean. Winds of 150 mph caused destruction to parts of the Caribbean Islands, particularly Carriacou in Grenada, which flattened in under an hour. In response to this disaster The Bristol Reggae Orchestra will be hosting a fundraising event to help support with aid for those most affected,
We invite you to lend your help by attending this event on Tues 6th Aug @ The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, St Michaels Hill, Bristol, BS2 8FN. Doors 6pm till 11pm, live music from 7:15pm, with performances from Bristol Reggae Orchestra, Nia Bimkubwa & Celestine. Followed by a after-show gathering in The Crypt, from 9:30pm-11pm with entertainment from DJ Style.
Tickets are available from:
Donations are welcome on the night.
We are also kindly asking individuals, businesses or companies, if you could also donate prizes or gifts in kind, for a Raffle Prize Draw on the night. All proceeds from the ticket sale will go towards helping rebuild the Island, which has had over 90% of it destroyed.
