NotesDescription The British town of Huddersfield, nestled within the Pennine hills of West Yorkshire, has played an important role in the history of UK sound system culture. In fact, in relation to the town’s size, its contribution to the UK’s sound system heritage is quite phenomenal. Featuring a wealth of previously unseen archival material, this book celebrates the people and sounds that helped establish Huddersfield as the reggae and sound system capital of northern England. About the Author Paul Huxtable AKA Dr Huxtable is a sound system builder, selector and founder of Axis, a Huddersfield-based sound system dedicated to playing vintage and classic reggae in a traditional style. A joiner by trade, Huxtable has lived and worked in the West Indies, spending much of his time studying Jamaican sound system culture while promoting and working with foundation reggae artists.
