The unveiling of the blue heritage plaque will take place on Saturday 12 July at Tavistock Community Centre, Harlesden.
FORM UK’s AIM Reggae 360 Academy, which will offer education and training in reggae and the creative industries for young and unemployed people, will also be launched at the event.
Music Business workshops will take place in the day time at the centre before the unveiling of the plaque at 5.30pm.
