An Dannsa Dub

Born from a love of traditional Scottish folk, dub reggae and dance music, together An Dannsa Dub summon the joyous, communal energy of a cèilidh and a sound system session. Their name comes from the Gaelic for “The Dub Dance”.

Their sound celebrates the ancient Gaelic and West African rhythms that influenced reggae, which in turn, via sound system culture and dub’s pioneering remixes, produced modern dance music. Their live shows and recordings are a seamless, pulsating fusion of all this and more. An Dannsa Dub have carried this unique, unstoppable sound to the UK festival circuit.

They’ve thrilled a 10,000 strong crowd at Boomtown Fair and have headlined a sold out show at Celtic Connections, the UK’s premier Celtic music festival. 2021’s self-titled EP “An Dannsa Dub” brought the group worldwide acclaim. The release has been played on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Nan Gàidheal and BBC Scotland. It’s been supported by Don Letts, who included it in his “Best Of 22”, as well as Tom Robinson, Mungo’s Hi Fi, and OBF. We are also excited to announce that local band Gower Soundclash will be back to support An Dannsa Dub on the night.

Gower Soundclash bring the heaviest beats and lowest bottom end from the peninsula with their unique dub flavours, heavy hitting lyricism and party vibes. Their digital dubs live set-up spans the full spectrum from sparse dub rhythms to four to the floor steppa style skank outs. Comprised of Chris Dow on bass and buttons, Adam Land on vocals and melodic
