Cotb With Chris Peckings Yann Vatiste

On Sunday 13th August, Color One Tear Black welcomes Chris Peckings for his first guest spot, and COTB extended-family member, Yann Vatiste, back.

Chris Peckings musical history goes way back. In the 1950s his father George ran with Coxsone Dodd in West Kingston, Jamaica, years before Coxsone's first recordings at 13 Brentford Road, home of his Studio One label. George moved to London in 1960 and was then single-handily responsible for getting Coxsone-produced 45s into the hands of London’s sound system owners and operators. In 1974 he opened the legendary Peckings record shop at 142 Askew Road, Shepherd's Bush, West London. Now at 81 Askew Road, the shop is still going strong today, and is run by Chris and his brother Duke. Chris, like so many Jamaican music men also has deep love and knowledge of soul music, especially two step and group harmony, the root of rocksteady. We are very much looking forward to his selection. 

Yann Vatiste is a stalwart of the London soul scene, and the man behind the Soul Devotion and Va Va Voom. In the last few years, Yann’s Epsilon label has consistently issued incredible ‘lost’ soul music, which is either previously unreleased or ultra-rare. It’s always an education when Yann plays.

COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill and JM will also be spinning alongside Chris Peckings and Yann Vatiste on 13th August.


Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (nts radio), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, mellow steppers, sweet and deep soul music, all played on original issue vinyl by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM and monthly guests. 

COTB runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE.
