Beloved reggae band Katchafire have recently remixed and re-mastered their platinum-selling debut album Revival, releasing it as Revival 2.0, and have now announced another version, Revival: The Guest Edition, which will feature collaborations with iconic artists from around the world. The first single 'Seriously' features Ali Campbell of UB40, and the album will also include tracks by Hawaii's Mike Love, Australian First Nations singer Emily Wurramara, and Jamaican legends Third World. Founding Katchafire member Logan Bell joins us from Tauranga.
