J Dilla Changed My Life - London/Manchester/Brighton (3rd-5th February)

For the sixth year running the UK is set to celebrate the life and work of the irreplacable James 'J Dilla'  Yancey - but this year is special, as the show is set to take to the road with three seperate events in London, Manchester & Brighton. The dream team of DJs, including Mr Scruff, Mr Thing, Harry Love & many more, will once again be joined on stage at all three events by last year's suprise guest, Dilla's mother, Maureen 'Ma Dukes' Yancey. Dilla's long-term friend and collaborator Phat Kat will also be hosting the events and will be performing some of his own Dilla-produced classics. I'll be down at the Manchester gig paying tribute to my favourite producer of all-time, and will hopefully see some of you there - it's going to be a special night. All the info you need for the 3 dates are after the jump. R.I.P. Jay Dee.
