Internationally acclaimed show brings the best of Bob Marley to Heysham this Autumn

Expect a vibrant, heartfelt production celebrating the legacy of Bob Marley through music, storytelling, and cultural reflection at Heysham Library on Saturday, September 27 at 7.30pm.

Drawing on his Jamaican heritage and years of international touring experience, Duane takes audiences on an engaging journey through Marley’s life, the rise of reggae, and its global cultural impact. Songs like One Love, Three Little Birds, and No Woman No Cry come alive on stage alongside Duane’s original music inspired by Marley’s influence.

As part of his Autumn 2025 tour, Duane will also be sharing music from his brand-new original album Adrift. Duane is performing multiple dates across the UK as part of the rural touring network in October 2025, the Lancashire dates are part of a much wider tour to villages and towns throughout Autumn.

“I loved this show when I saw it at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024. Duane is a fantastic and generous performer, Bob Marley’s music speaks for itself, and the background of reggae music and how that has impacted Duane’s life is fascinating. It’s intimate, uplifting and a perfect show for Heysham,” said Lyndsey Wilson, Programme Manager for Spot On Rural & Library Touring.

After a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, in early 2025, Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World received weekly awards for Best Music Show at both the Perth and Adelaide Fringe Festivals in Australia, alongside a sold-out run at Perth Fringe.

Duane recently completed successful new engagements at the San Francisco International Arts Festival (USA), the Montréal Fringe Festival, and the Ottawa Fringe Festival (Canada), where the production received the Jury’s Choice Award, along with strong audience and critical reviews, before a highly anticipated return to the Edinburgh Fringe 2025.

Having released multiple albums and toured extensively across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, Duane has built a loyal international following. His musical style blends reggae, jazz, soul, and bossa nova, and his shows have received glowing reviews, including a ★★★★★ rating from Broadway Baby and a runner-up nod for Show of the Festival at Milan Fringe.
