Eddy Grant
You could say the Equals were the original two-tone band. Three blacks, two whites and Eddy Grant 's famous blond wig. From Goldilocks to dreadlocks, from Viva Bobby Joe to
Give Me Hope Jo 'Anna, Eddy has come a long way.
Born in Guyana, brought up in London and now enjoying a paradise lifestyle in Barbardos, times have often been tough, but Eddy's talent and fierce independence have earned him his place in the sun as well as total artistic freedom. His musical style cannot be categorised, drawing as it does on rock, reggae and pop influences to name but a few. Researchers
