The Maytals formed in the 1960s and updated their name to T***s and the Maytals for their debut album ’Sweet And Dandy’ in 1969.
Frederick ‘T***s' Hibbert was considered a reggae pioneer who was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time.
Now fronted by T***s’ daughter Leba Hibbert, T***s and the Maytals are one of the best-known ska and rocksteady groups, known for the first use of the word ‘reggae’ in a song on their 1968 single ‘Do The Reggay’.

OUR STORY
ABOUT:
Situated in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath - The Forum is a stunning Art Deco ex-super cinema built in 1934.
“The Heritage City of Bath is an indisputable world class leader in the field of historical architecture. But even the longest-established residents are aware that, away from the iconic heritage trail, there’s always a new old treasure to discover - and The Forum is one such hidden gem.
Having opened its doors to the public as a cinema in 1934, this remarkable venue celebrated its 80th birthday in May 2014. The cinema remained in operation until 1969 and the building has since accommodated a bingo hall and a dance school before Bath City Church took the building over in 1989. The Forum is Bath’s biggest venue and the third largest seated auditorium in the South West of England
But for many years, the building was overlooked, unloved and allowed to slip into a state of careworn disarray. When Bath City Church took The Forum over, it had been allowed to crumble into a sorry state of disrepair, thankfully, the church restored it to its former glory and set up a company called Bath Forum Ltd to manage the venue and deliver a new programme of events and to look at refurbishment as an ongoing project.”
Today, The Forum represents a true reflection of typical Art Deco-era splendour including lacquered wood fixtures and fittings and gold-leafed flourishes all subtly vying for your attention. In the elegant auditorium, the iconic green cinema seats offer a spacious, luxurious audience experience.
