Later, the Simmerons would support visiting singers like Ken Booth, Toots and the Maytals, Dennis Brown and even Bob Marley.
Simon TeslerHOST
On his first visit to the UK to play shows in London, the Wailers had stayed home in Jamaica, so it was the Cimarons who served as Marley's backing band for several live dates.

DubheadHOST
So that's Joe Higgs.
