Judge
Dread
 As
a former bouncer at Brixton's Ram Jam club, Alexander Hughes met
Prince Buster and Derrick Morgan. As a debt collector for Trojan
Records, he got to know the harsh realities of the music business.
Undeterred, as Judge Dread he forged a singular career, and his
everyman approach to ska scored him more UK hits than any reggae
artist in the 70s, including Bob Marley.
Always a larger-than-life individual, Dread died on-stage in
Canterbury in 1998 after a heart attack.
