Lloyd Bradley is one of the UK’s foremost black music experts and a seasoned cultural commentator both in print and in person. His book Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King  remains the world’s best-selling book on Jamaican music and culture; the internationally acclaimed Sounds Like London: 100 Years of Black Music in the Capital is the first and only to explore Britain’s modern black music as one continuous thread; he co-authored Ian Wright: A Life In Football , positioning the Arsenal legend firmly in context as a contemporary black icon.

Derek A Bardowell is a writer, philanthropy strategist and executive coach. His first book, the sports memoir No Win Race, was a Sunday Times and Financial Times Book of the Year. His follow-up book, Giving Back: How To Do Good, Better, reimagines philanthropy through a reparative lens, while his latest, Fire Inna Dancehall, explores dancehall’s influence on modern pop culture. Derek’s work has appeared in The Guardian, The Times, and British GQ.
