Press Reviews The Citizen, Wednesday, August 26, 1998. David's Gone Back to Roots Gloucester record producer David Judah is making his mark in the international roots music scene again as his record company releases a new album. After taking two years out to update and market his Solardub label, David is back home in Barton Street ready and willing to do what to him is a labour of love - giving support and advice to local youths to help them break in to the music scene. David said "we want to help the local people to try different things in music. It's a community thing. We want to encourage people, give them advice, help break down the barriers and stigmas and let people see that there's a lot going on in Gloucester." Solardub has studios in Cheltenham and an office in Barton and Tredworth enterprise area, where staff are currently preparing the launch party for the new album "Upfull" by Jamaican artist "Face 2 Face". David has organised a talent competition for the last ten years and has helped several hopefuls reach their goal, including Martin Fishley who has recently signed up with Sony records and has worked with Bristol's drum and bass legend Ronnie Size. Now he is hopeful that Upfull will help generate more business for the label giving David the funds to help the local scene. David said; "We've got to keep pushing, keep putting out good sounds and keep helping local youngsters." During his time out David has digitised the Solardub studio, set up a website and helped Face 2 Face record the new album after meeting him in Jamaica where many Gloucester families have their roots. The launch party for Upfull will be on September 21 at 103 Barton Street. An opportunity for people to rub shoulders with local celebraties. David said people can come in to have a chat and see what we're about or they can bring along demo tapes." David's enthusiasm for music doesn't stop at roots as he wants to encourage youngsters in all types of music from rock to jungle and give them the benefit of his experience.
