About Valerie Edwards
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I am not an expert or an artiste in the reggae music industry, but I will attempt to answer questions specifically in relation to lovers rock from the late 70s to the late 80s. I may also be able to help with queries regarding revival, dancehall and reggae in general.

Experience
My experience lies in being a listener and appreciater of reggae music of all genres since the 70s. Lovers rock in particular is quite specific to the UK and I am often able to answer questions relating to artists and lyrics.

Education/Credentials
I hope to share the knowledge that I have built up over the years with others, and in turn, learn more about a genre of music that I love.
