The Worries

The Worries

The Worries are a reggae group from the United Kingdom, based in Brockley, Lewisham, and active from 1989 to the present. They begin as a live act and develop a reputation through performances for Choice FM, Greenwich Bubble Theatre and a range of charity events, including work for the Jamaican Lignum Vitae Club, Amandla and Matagalpa Con Amore.

The group play reggae with dancehall influences, and their sound includes relaxed vocals and horn arrangements. Their material also includes more unusual pieces such as “Worries Christmas Carol,” which moves away from straightforward reggae into sampled rhythmic styles with a prominent Wurlitzer organ. “Anticipating” is described as an award-winning track.

Over the years, The Worries back several artists, including Maxi Priest, Vivian Jones, Roy Richards, Nico Junior and Sandeeno. Their recordings include the album Strictly Worries and the single “Nightmare on Elm Street,” issued from that album.
