Groundation

Groundation was a British reggae group from Leicester who were active between 1977 and 1983. They only released one record, a two track 12” single in 1981 on their own Shield Records label, (not to be confused with the Birmingham label of the same name). Following the breakup of the band in 1983, vocalist Tanni, (pronounced the same as the British loudspeaker company) became a solo artist, signing a deal with Greensleeves Records and releasing singles on their UK Bubblers offshoot as Tannoi.

Peel had Groundation and Altered Images along with his roadshow perform at Leicester Polytechnic in February 1981. A month later he had the band do a session for his show and he also played their single on his shows.
