Tourists Sue and Jim Villamagna felt like they been transported home as they headed to Eat Streat for lunch where the Roots - Dub - Reggae was being served up to diners.
They were among dozens of diners out at lunchtime yesterday being offered the genre of music free by
two local disc jockeys - Kane Merrie, aka IntaCepta, and Bwoy Fiyah, aka Johnny Deep.
Mrs Villamagna, who is from New York and is touring New Zealand for 10 days with her husband, said when they heard about the free reggae event they ditched their tour group and headed down to the popular dining area to take it in.
They sat outside Lewishams enjoying the music along with their lunch.
"It's been just great. We only arrived yesterday and we had a bit of free time so thought we'd head down. We had no idea it would be so good. We've come half way around the world and got to hear what we hear at home. It's just unbelievable. We love reggae," she said.
