Interesting to see Herbs in there, given that previously they had taken legal action against Raggamuffin and Pacific Herbs (these ex-Herbs members due to play at Raggamuffin in 2010), and Herbs got the previous company running Raggamuffin pushed into liquidation. Read more on that -

PLUS Ali Campbell owed money by Raggamuffin (July 2012)

ADDED Lauryn Hill recently pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes to the tune of $1.5m, and is due for sentencing Nov 27 -she faces 3 years jail time,according to the Huffington Post (hat tip to Mark Thomson for the link). Will she make it to Raggamuffin?
