There is no more legendary band in Jamaican music history than Bob Marley and The Wailers. Formed in 1969, the group has created an extraordinary body of work whose echoes are heard in every corner of the world today.

Original members included Marley, who was hailed as “The Artist of the 20th Century”, along with his vocal partners Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh, alongside the ground-breaking rhythm section of the Barrett brothers with Carlton on drums and Aston “Family Man” on bass.

Today, Aston leads The Wailers as it continues its worldwide campaign of promoting peace, love and equality through the message of reggae and Rastafari.
