Beyond the Bassline at the British Library, the first major exhibition of its kind anywhere in the world, is about more than music. It’s about the places where these sounds were born: the clubs, the carnivals, the stages, the kerbside auditoriums. It is curated by Dr Aleema Gray in collaboration with Dr Mykaell Riley. Musical legen Eddy Grant was in conversation with Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, in a special event to launch the Beyond the Bassline season. Eddy Grant has had a highly prolific musical career spanning nearly six decades and that has expanded the possibilities of rock and pop, funk, reggae, soca and even electronic experimentation.Born in Guyana, he moved to north London in 1960 and as a teenager formed the pioneering multi-racial pop/rock outfit The Equals, best known for the classic, Baby, Come Back.
