Forrester's Hall

Probable

Historic dance venue at 21 North Street in Kingston, one of the great sound-system halls of the late 1950s and early 1960s alongside Chocomo Lawn and Club Havana. Sir Coxsone's Downbeat and Duke Reid's Trojan were regular fixtures, and it hosted celebrated early clashes between the two rigs. Source note: Jamaica Gleaner 'Music Diaries'.
