Last March, the Palmer brothers were among 12 reggae stalwarts honoured by the Brent City Council for their contribution to the musicâs development in the United Kingdom.
Jeffrey, Harry and Carlyle were born in Clarendon. They operated a nightclub, real estate agency and Pama Records (later Jet Star Records) in the north-west London borough of Harlesden. The latter distributed reggae in the UK for 40 years until Jet Star was sold in 2008.
Carlyle, who is in his 80s, accepted the award on behalf of his family. His daughter, Kim Palmer, said it was an overdue acknowledgement that transcends music.
