Ongoing State of Emergency in T&T Forces Postponement of Men of Soul Concert

Freddie Jackson was carded to bring love 

to T&T on September 24

alongside Jeffery Osborne and Peabo Bryson

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. August 30, 2011------------- Despite efforts by local event organisers, ASCL Promotions to tranquilize the unnerving surge in crime related activity by pushing for an epic love concert on Republic Day, the Men of Soul concert has unfortunately been postponed with a date to be announced. The revelation was made on Monday as the outfit, together with financial stakeholders faced the reality that the current state of emergency being experienced on the island, would not lend positively to a show of such magnitude.  

With tremendous planning for the event having already been done, organisers say it’s just a 

matter of settling on a revised date at this point. A spokesperson for ASCL Promotions 

summed up the disadvantage of going ahead with the show, saying that at this time, the minds 

of Trinbagonians remained unsettled and the mood was quite uneasy, so with that in mind 

they have opted to postpone the staging of three of the world’s biggest male vocalists of the 70’s and 80’s.  

Jeffery Osborne, Freddie Jackson and Peabo Bryson were carded to appear at the spacious Queen’s Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain on September 24th. The trio, who over the years have amassed an incredible catalogue of soulful ballads and collaborations with noted icons in the music industry, remain excited for their imminent trip to T&T. They are said to be understanding of the current climate as it relates to the state of emergency, and have assured their support to the local promotional outfit as re-planning for the new date gets underway.  

Persons who have purchased tickets for the show, are guaranteed a full refund once tickets are 

returned to the original point of sale.  

Organizers apologize for any and all inconvenience caused but they say the decision was 

deemed necessary in light of the current atmosphere on the island.  

T&T Promoter Bent On Bringing Back Love- Starts Mission With Men of Soul

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. August 17, 2011------------- Nothing should stop anyone from being a part of a love experience on September 24th in T&T. One promotional entity is preparing a show that is guaranteed to be the most secure event in recent years. From ticket locations to the parking area at the Queen’s Park Savannah and within the perimeters of the venue on show night, no cost is being spared to guarantee all round safety and enjoyment at Men of Soul- a love concert, on September 24. 

It’s a different kind of concert- one that seeks to resurrect feelings of love among citizens of T&T, to incite an emotional sense of not just love of one’s partner but love for each other as one people. Freddie Jackson, Peabo Bryson and Jeffery Osborne- each overflowing with talent and each bringing with them a catalogue of music that spans decades; they will be in Trinidad and Tobago on September 24th as headline acts for an unbeatable concert experience. Organisers of the event are guaranteeing a spectacular show with comfort of body and mind, along with unparalleled enjoyment, their top priorities when it comes to each patron. They say they know and understand that over the years, patrons have been short changed for one reason or another by promotional entities and for this reason, they intend to live up to the promises they’re making for this world-class concert. 

The men of soul have been invited after careful research of what they’ve offered over the years to patrons at arenas across the globe. In November last year, a concert featuring Osborne at the New Orleans Convention Centre in Los Angeles left one music lover saying, “I've had several opportunities to see the Jef Oz show live on several occasions, needless to say, his shows are energetic, full of memories that take you back into those days of the 70's and 80's… singing hit after hit! It's also a set that attracts a demographic of culture and age demographics from 25-55 and above. His fans seem to get a kick out of it all, as he goes into the audience with the Woo Woo Woo song! What great talent that you get to see for yourself!”

The concert takes place at the very spacious Queen’s Park Savannah with general admission tickets already on sale for just $200. Special reserved tickets are also available for $300 at the advertised outlets. Anyone who has questions or concerns about the concert, can call the Men of Soul hotline at 746-7167. This show promises to leave a lasting positive impression on the nation according to organisers. They say it’s about time something big happened for everyone to come out, have a good time and truly feel the essence of love.
