Kern Rose Beefs Up His Resume- Fashion Designer & Artiste Now Added!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 9, 2011---- Kern Rose is no new face. He’s been around and he understands the ins and outs of the entertainment world. Now, he’s making some very big statements ahead of Carnival 2012 in Trinidad and Tobago and anyone who believes he doesn’t have the gumption to make it all happen, better think again.  

As one of T&T’s leading video directors, the young creator says he’s about to cause a tumultuous stir in the weeks ahead as he launches a number of things, one of which is 

something called Fashion Marshon. 


The name may sound a bit strange but one opportunity to see inside the mind of Kern Rose would ultimately lead to a greater understanding of his vision. The young entrepreneur is going full speed ahead, launching his very own clothing line which he’ll call Fashion Marshon- the second part of the name being a new sobriquet he’ll give himself as the season ultimately unfolds. “ I’m currently in the process of developing the line with popular young urban designer, Fashion Dandy and it’ll be all about 

the entertainers and other industry peeps,” said Rose. He said the aim was to make local entertainers stand out and be seen for that which they are- unique, stylish and a cut above the rest. Rose also plans on launching his website to the world on December 15th- something he assures will be a one of a kind platform for many in the Caribbean diaspora. “Nothing like this has ever been done,” said Rose, refusing to let the cat entirely out of the bag for now. He assured that it would be something that many would be intrigued by and urged entertainment practitioners and others who enjoy Caribbean entertainment, to keep their ears and eyes peeled to news of the industry as the date draws closer.  

On a third leg, Kern Rose is putting his voice to work. Get this… in 2012, Kern Rose will officially be an artiste. Not only is the young professional changing his name, but he’s planning something called the Marshon Take Over which will essentially start with his first ever soca release ahead of C2K12. “ The track is called, Wifey Less and it was produced by London Future,” explained Rose. He noted that Future was well known for creating mega hits for Trini male-duo Nebula 868, among their tracks, Amped Up and Words Can’t Explain. What’s even more impressive is the fact that Rose has rested the mastering of his track in the highly capable hands of Precision Production- a team best known for their work with artistes such as Machel Montano, Destra Garcia and even Kees. 

The year ahead promises to see great things out of Kern Rose’s camp. He’s highly motivated and willing to take the necessary risks to make everything become reality. He has the mind of a winner and the heart of a champion so when he says, “I’m doing it!,” you had better believe that it will be done.  

IRON, RIDDIM.... VIBES!!! Shurwayne Drops, " Nobody Badda Dan We"!!!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 8th, 2011--------His ability to make it sound loud, distinct and fit for the road is unbelievable. One music lover on social networking site, Facebook wrote, "But like Shurwayne went away and come back 'awa'... how he music kickin brass so??? #besstune."  

It was her immediate comment after Winchester's brand new single, Shorty/ Nobody Badda Dan We, dropped on radio stations on Thursday morning. 

Shurwayne's creativity is proving to be stronger than many may have believed in years gone by. Ahead of 2012, he's pushing hard to not just deliver music for the road march or the other competitions. In fact, he's not even talking competition... he's talking entertainment, fun, enjoyment and delivering only the best!

The new track was written by the artiste himself and produced at Platta Studios in Barbados. He said it's his release in the prelude to his power releases and for now, fans and music lovers can sit pretty, knowing that he's given them some of the biggest soca anthems for 2012 so far and there will be others. 

In the meantime, his team is working on the completion of two videos for Wining Addiction and Work It. Following the Christmas season, Shurwayne Winchester is guaranteed to be a force to be reckoned and what's amazing is that his momentum hasn't even peaked just yet....

In the meantime, check out the brand new single, " Shorty/ Nobody Badda Dan We" right here:

Shurwayne Winchester Shuts Down Millennium Highway- Set To Release 5th C2K12 Single

Soca artiste, Shurwayne Winchester

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 2, 2011--------Dyamic. Versatile. Energetic. 

Those were the words that best described Shurwayne Winchester’s most recent performances. 
On the heels of cable network, Flow’s Christmas party on Saturday, November 26th, Shurwayne 
rolled solo at Woodford Café where he dished out much more than many would’ve expected. Excited for Christmas and the subsequent carnival season ahead, Shurwayne says he’s pulling out the stops and going hard into both seasons as he has nothing to lose.  

“I’m an entertainer,” said the notably relaxed soca superstar last week Saturday night. He had 

been explaining why his repertoire consists of such varying musical items, to an audience that simply wanted more. The event, which took place at the Hyatt Hotel was merely one of a number of Christmas functions Shurwayne and his band of three years, Y.O.U. have been contracted to perform at. He’s a favourite when it comes to events of this nature and that undoubtedly stems from his ability to vocally enforce any genre of music- from hip-hop to dancehall, reggae and of course calypso and soca. His first ever soca parang single, “When 

Christmas Come Around” was a hit at both Flow’s Christmas Party and Woodford Café last week, however it was at Hyatt where he utilized the comical appeal of television personality, Philo, that fans of the artiste truly got a true taste of what he can bring, when he truly decides to go hard.  

On both nights, audience members shouted flatteries, screamed with joy and called for more, 

and that in itself was all that was needed for more to be delivered by the former double Road 

March champ. From Work It to Wine On It, Jiggle It Reloaded and Wining Addict- his music 

ahead of Carnival 2012 continues to be enjoyed by fans and soca lovers. Shurwayne says he 

plans on releasing a power single next but hasn’t dished on whether that would be before or 

after the Christmas season. Most recently, he was in St. Lucia shooting the video for Work It where 

he reportedly shut down the entire Millennium Highway for three hours to shoot the scenes. 

It’s just what happens when he’s bent on getting things right. In 2012, Shurwayne is promising 

plenty vibes, plenty fun and a lot of great music for revelers to enjoy. 

Telecruz Set To Make 'Em Sweat in C2K12!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 17, 2011------------- Tobago won’t be left behind, especially when they’ve got great things to offer the world. That’s the ideals of one of Tobago’s rising superstars who goes by the name, Telecruz. He’s been around, but in case you missed him, it must be told that Telecruz’s infectious melody and mesmerizing tone, has made it all the way to Sweden and back.  

These days the Crown Point native is working hard to get his foot in the door as Carnival 2012 rears its head. He only recently released a track called, “Sweat” on the Benchmark Riddim, which was produced by 4Sons entertainment out of Sweden and subsequently mixed and mastered by Madmen Productions in Trinidad. His Swedish alliance is a unique one. He’s been working with the foreign music makers for some time- having capitalised on the link, making sure that his music is placed into the European domain. In fact, Teleruz’s first single ever 

released, “Caribbean Affair” which was done alongside Swedish pop vocalist, Swedish Maria, 

made it into the European market in a pretty decent way. The track was ranked number three 

on the Caribbean Countdown in Europe. 

Telecruz’s determination to make it in the industry is one that cannot be broken. In fact, his 

new single “Sweat” was written alongside the producer to ensure that it was perfect for release. 

This method went against the norm of musical creation and Telecruz highlighted that it was 

just his way of increasing the possibility of perfection on a single that he truly enjoyed 

vocalizing. He even flew to Sweden to record the single and that in itself goes to show how 

much he believes in his first 2012 release. 

With a collaborative track alongside soca trailblazer, Buffy also carded to be released in just 

about one week’s time, Telecruz is sounding the alarm. He’s making it known that he’s coming 

hard. Also in the mix of singles for the Carnival season up ahead, is a track done alongside 

Umi Marcano called, Sail Away. His link with Umi was made last year but it was felt that the 

track would have a more significant impact if released ahead of C2K12. 

On a serious note, the entertainer revealed that each level aspired for, and acquired in the soca 

industry is appreciated by him since it has never been easy for artistes out of Tobago to make 

it. He said it’s often a harder fight and a tougher push, with Tobagonian artistes sometimes 

having to move to Trinidad in a bid to promote themselves in the market. Nevertheless, he 

said the extra push makes the accomplishment all the more rewarding when attained and with 

that in mind, Telecruz peomises to never stop pushing. The Tobago born artiste is vowing to 

join in the limelight with his brothers of soca in the season of revelry ahead.  

T&T Super Producer Makes His Presence Felt Ahead of C2K12

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 18, 2011------------- The producer with the swag of a stunner’s at it again. Holy House Production’s Mr. Spine has been known for creating some of 

the most amazing beats out of T&T with the young artistes of the Millionaire Family riding them hard in recent years. Now, ahead of Carnival 2012 in T&T, the man who usually sits behind the scenes and directs the sound is prepared to stand at the fore, ready to deliver some tough ‘stuff’ as he delves into the realm of being an artiste.  

A first release entitled For D Carnival is just what it says- a track for the carnival season that will penetrate the souls of true fete lovers. Together with singing sensation, Buffy, Mr. Spine 2.0 as he’s now being called, is making use of his vocal ability, coupling it with his skill behind 

the mixing board and computers to deliver nothing short of magic to the people he feels deserves to hear it, feel it and move to it. It’s just a taste of what’s to come as he assures a number of self-produced singles will hit the market as the season unfolds. Another track 

alongside IRAWMA award winning artiste, Buffy will hit the airwaves soon after the first release and according to the duo, this one will make a statement. “ It’s called, For De Lovin, and it’s about the lengths that two people would go for each other’s loving,” explained the super producer. The second single admittedly invokes emotions and Spine said the combination makes for some really good musical listening.  

Holy House Production has lent its expertise in musical production to many artistes in recent 

years. Having secured a distribution deal with Universal Records’ InGrooves, for tracks on the 

Flex Riddim earlier this year, Mr. Spine 2.0 has been hard at work. He’s worked with a number 

of entertainers from across the Caribbean, among them Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, 

Konshens, Rayvon, Pamputee, Meritol Family, Orlando Octave and the other talented artistes 

who make up the Millionaire Family, among others. Now, his new mission to infiltrate vocally 

with self-produced singles not only sends a strong warning but also a tremendous message to 

other youths looking on. “I feel that we’re all capable of charting the course we want in this 

life. Music is my passion but why should I be bound to one aspect of it? I feel I have what it 

takes to give more of me and I want other young people to understand that there’s always 

something more for them out there. They just have to go after it!” he said. 

Mr. Spine 2.0 is ready for C2K12 and he’s bringing a strong catalogue with him. With 

determination to make it all a success, Mr. Spine 2.0- youthful and determined in every sense, 

is looking forward to an interesting season ahead. 

No Pressure Billed to Be Nadia Batson's BIG Groovy Single

Frontline vocalists of SASS Megan Waldrond and Queen SASS, Nadia Batson

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 17, 2011-----------Nadia Batson's not about to miss a beat as the season of revelry in Trinidad and Tobago unfolds. The heightened level of intensity is owed to her strong yearning to give only the best of herself and her band SASS, in C2K12 and beyond. 


On the heels of the band's launch last Wednesday, November 9 at Anchorage, Batson on Thursday, November 17 released a single she had been perfecting for weeks. No Pressure was produced by Martian Music and mastered by GBM Productions out of NYC. " This one is for the ladies- We don't want no pressure!", said Batson who wrote the track herself.  Its groove is melodically enticing, soothing on the ear and uncompromising on the waistline's all round agenda. Every woman will love No Pressure, according to Team SASS!


Online, the Buzz has been wild for Nadia Batson. In 2011, she told the media that she was doing everything for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. She'd performed twice at the International Soca Monarch Competition with fellow artistes, Tallpree of Grenada and Patrice Roberts of the HD Family, and even then, a very humble, low-key Batson, told reporters that it wasn't about winning- it was about doing the best that she could. 


2012 is proving to however be a different dynamic. In the season ahead, Nadia will prove herself further- being the first bandleader of an all-female soca band out of Trinidad and Tobago. She's on a natural high and her music is proof enough. No Pressure has been released to radio stations across the length and breadth of T&T and overseas. She's hoping that with the help of her loyal supporters, this track- 'her pet track'- will be as huge as recent releases. This is Batson's fourth release for the season. It follows her hits, Whey Yuh Want with Lyrikal, Hard Pong with Raymond Ramnarine and Shiver on the Antilles riddim. 

Rave Reviews for SASS!!!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 11, 2011-------Everywhere you turn in T&T, the word SASS seems to be popping up!

Soca sweetheart Nadia Batson launched her all female soca band on Wednesday evening in Trinidad to the media. The launch was held at Anchorage in Chaguaramas and Batson got the opportunity to breathe after months of anticipation. She showed off her frontline ladies Terry Lyons and 21-year-old Megan Waldrond and showed that SASS would be just what's needed in the growing Soca industry.

Batson says she plans on showcasing that talented women in the Caribbean can rock any stage around the world and starting in C2K12, the lady who has given us countless hits, some personally sung and others merely composed, plans on proving her point.

Check out a little of SASS in action on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 courtesy footage captured by www.islandmix.com.

BRAND NEW SHURWAYNE WINCHESTER- WINING ADDICT!!!!

Nothing Will Stop Her- Nadia Batson's Making It Happen!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. October 25, 2011------Well who would’ve thought! Nadia Batson, Raymond Ramnarine and the Dil-E-Nadan crew are dishing out something that’s guaranteed to send party lovers wild ahead of Carnival 2012. This, even as T&T’s soca 

sweetheart is putting the final touches on preparations for the launch of her all-female soca band on November 9th. 


A promo for the band, which will be known as SASS, has already gone viral and is  creating a bit of a stir ahead of launch date but even with that happening, Batson’s indisputably strong work ethic keeps her focused on this latest release alongside the Dil-E-Nadan band.   

The sweetness of the spanking new single they’re calling Hard Pong, lies in its melody but with 

lyrics to match the track’s melodious output, the song which was produced by Shaft Vibes 

Entertainment and recorded at Backyard studios, will, by all indications be placed on heavy 

rotation in the weeks ahead. Much like the promo video for the new band, Hard Pong has also 

gone viral, hitting social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter on October 20. Many are 

speculating that Batson will have a very successful 2012 season as her name seems to be 

popping up everywhere, even on television, where she forms part of Synergy TV’s Soca Star 7 

judging panel. Additionally, her collaboration with U.S. based soca artiste Lyrikal on a track 

called Whey Yuh Want has been making the rounds and there’s also word that she’s got a 

single on the Antilles riddim alongside Machel Montano, Kerwin Dubois and others that’s 

guaranteed to make the ladies move.  

Nadia Batson’s journey in entertainment region-wide has certainly made her one of the most 

respected female singer/songwriters in the hemisphere. Her attitude is that of a go-getter and 

for that reason she assures fans and supporters of music in general that 2012 will only be the 

beginning of Soca’s list of greatest accomplishments- this as she seeks to offer something truly 

dynamic and revolutionary. “ This is only just kicking off. I have so much to deliver to the 

people and I’m so excited to do that,” she said enthusiastically. Her new lease on life these 

days is owed primarily to the joy she foresees in being able to truly please the people of T&T, 

the region and internationally- the way she feels they deserve to be pleased-with great music, 

spectacular showmanship and lyrical appeal that goes beyond the ordinary. A look of what’s to 

come from the ladies of SASS can be viewed on Facebook, Twitter and certainly YouTube. 

November 9th  however promises to be a date everyone will be talking about for months 

thereafter.

Here's a sneak peak of what's to come: 

T&T Urban Frequency Basks In Being Most Followed Media House on Facebook

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. October 21, 2011---------On October 20th, urban frequency 94.1FM in Trinidad and Tobago captured the social media top ranking among media houses on the island, with 60,000 die hard supporters of the brand and certainly the vibe that the station has in the past 5 years, offered to the masses. 


Over the past few months, 94.1FM or Boomchampions as it's more popularly known, has been touting its social media appeal, offering a level of interactivity with supporters that has been unparalleled. Daily, visitors to the page: http://www.facebook.com/boomchampionstt receive doses of inspiration, news, entertainment coverage, in-house station updates and certainly the latest on what's happening on the local entertainment circuit via constantly updated postings to the page. The DJs and personalities of the Abercromby street, Port-of-Spain frequency, often utilise the platform to connect in one-on-one discussions with their fans- offering the most down to earth interaction possible, many will agree- between radio sound boys and their listeners.


The Boomchampions Facebook Fanpage is also directly linked to social media buzzer- Twitter, something that has proven effective for the frequency in garnering additional support. The social media platforms are used as an essential tool in taking the brand to higher heights, on a daily basis. The Facebook Fanpage boasts a number of components, among these, the Live-Stream option, the News tab where entertainment news is at the fingertips of fans and even a Job Opportunity tab where vacancies at the frequency are highlighted. Administrators for the Fanpage have noted that the core audience of Boomchampions 94.1FM rely heavily on the Facebook medium, especially when a radio may be out of reach. The Live Stream option on the page has placed the station a notch above the rest, with no other frequency on the island having ever crossed the numbers viewing the BOOM via this method, at any one point in time. 


With much in store for supporters and music lovers in general, the urban radio station which has in essence, captured the 13-24 year old market in T&T, is promising fans that the months ahead will see added momentum to boost all products under the Boomchampions umbrella. Fresh ideas and a constant will to improve and provide the best product to its listeners, is what many agree makes the frequency the real urban #1 in Trinidad and Tobago. 

Proud Patrons Of Saute Trinbago 2011 To Wear White on Sunday

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. September 23, 2011 - Patrons of this year’s Saute´ Trinbago experience are being called upon to come dolled up in white. The idea goes hand in hand with the event’s 2011 theme- that being Proud to be Trinbagonian. The white in the island’s national flag symbolizes the sea by which the islands are bound, the cradle of the nation’s heritage; the purity of the people’s aspirations and the equality of all men under the sun and so, with that in mind, organisers at Cloud Nine Promotions say white is the ideal colour to represent this year’s goal. 

Already soca stars have attested to their unwavering support for the event and on Sunday, the people of T&T, along with a number of visitors from across the islands and continents, will make their way to the Paddock, Queen’s Park Savannah. With gates opening at 2pm, patrons, many of whom purchased their tickets quite early, are anticipating the smorgasbord of tasty delights, among these sushi, crab and dumplings, roti, Creole, Indian and Chinese cuisine and of course, lots and lots of Trini styled desserts. Beyond that, there’s been talk of additional guest artistes added to the cast, among the popular additions Explainer, The Neal & Massy All Stars and students from the U.W.I. Department of Creative and Festival Arts. These of course, will join Machel Montano Rikki Jai, Bunji Garlin, Destra Gacia, Benjai, Mungal Patasar and others, for entertainment that goes beyond the ordinary. 

The event is seen by organisers as the perfect opportunity to market the island, its personality, tastes and sounds and with many overseas having expressed great interest in the event, it won’t be strange to see quite a few visitors to the shores of the island within the days leading up to Sunday’s grand celebration. Saute´ Trinbago is just one of those events that encourages cultural, ethnic and social unity, say organisers and with that being it’s fundamental aim, this year’s event is certainly viewed as a step in the right direction for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. A number of reputable brands have come forward with expressions of support for the event, among these Bmobile, Link Me Limited, Hilton Trinidad, Lucozade, Blue Waters, Flavorite, K2K Alliance and Partners, Chivas, Heineken, Angostura Cocktails, Tresemme´, Heartbeat 103.5FM and Ebony 104FM.

Saute´Trinbago In Full Swing- S.O.E. Won't Stop The Celebration!

LinkMe Limited's Shelly Ann Hee Chung

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. September 12, 2011---------- Nothing will stand in the way of Saute´ Trinbago 2011. So say organisers who, after days of discussion have agreed that Saute´ has and will continue to be a true celebration of Trinbago culture. Event organisers say Saute´is being held at a time when it is certainly needed, as it will provide an escape for Trinbagonians who may be disheartened by the current climate on the island.  

On September 25th, just one day after the country celebrates Republic Day, Saute´ Trinbago will provide a spectacular showcase of not just the sights, sounds and tastes of the multicultural island paradise, but also a prophecy of what lies in wait for the country. Organisers of Saute´ Trinbago are using this event to push for a better Trinbago, saying that it 

is only with a unified push, can peace and compassion return to the hearts and minds of T&T nationals. Already a number of sponsors have thrown their support behind the event, among them, Bmobile, Caribbean Airlines, Hilton Trinidad, Heineken, Blue Waters, Chivas, Lucozade,Angostura Cocktails and Flavourite just to name a few.  

With planning in full swing, Shelly Ann Hee Chung of LinkMe Limited, the company that is 

entrusted with PR and Media for the event, is guaranteeing a truly all-inclusive cultural 

experience from 2pm to 9pm on September 25th.  Hee Chung says patrons will get the full 

works at this year’s Saute´, especially since adjustments to the schedule have been made in light 

of the implemented curfew hours in T&T. “We’ve brought the time forward a bit, which will 

allow for patrons to arrive early and enjoy the delightful array of food, the ambience and of 

course Machel Montano!,” she said excitedly.  

The Road March and Soca Monarch king will be a part of this year’s entertainment lineup, as 

will 2011 Chutney Monarch king, Rikki Jai, the reputed Mungal Patasar and the rhythmic Neal 

and Massy Steel Orchestra. “It will be an event to break the strains of the past few weeks, 

something that families can come out to and truly become engrossed in. It’s just one day after 

Republic Day and we believe Trinidad and Tobago must be celebrated for its rich and diverse 

culture and the people who make the island what it is- no matter what,” said Hee Chung.  

In the past two years, Saute´ Trinbago has set a precedence for being a truly all-encompassing 

delivery of T&T’s cultural splendours and while it started off as a showcase of Trinbago’s 

tastes, the event has come full circle, delivering to patrons much more than they expect each 

year. According to Hee Chung, there’s really no reason anyone should miss this extravagant 

celebration – in fact she dares true Trinbagonians to miss it, saying they’ll certainly live to regret such a decision. “ This is about us as a people of varying backgrounds. This is where we’ll all stand proud as Trini’s to show the world that even amid chaos, we’re a united people who love our country. This is where we all have to be on September 25- Saute´Trinbago,” said Hee Chung. With tickets already available at a number of locations including B Mobile flagship stores nationwide, Woodford Café Port-of-Spain and Chaguanas and from committee members, anyone still left with questions are invited to call the Saute´ Trinbago hotline at 74- SAUTE´ (747-2883).


“ There’ll also be a lot of opportunities for people to win tickets on Ebony 104FM and Heartbeat 103.5FM, as the day draws closer,” said an anxious Hee Chung.

BRAND NEW SINGLE FROM SHURWAYNE WINCHESTER: " WORK IT"

Fans Call for More S.W. Music, Even in S.O.E.

Even amid the ongoing State of Emergency in T&T, music lovers are holding firm to the beats of their favourite entertainers, especially those who are preparing for an emerging C2K12 season in T&T. Daily, one Caribbean entertainer is motivated by his online group of supporters to keep the music pumping

On Tuesday, August 30, Shenae Enn sent the message seen up top, to Winchester. Little did she know   how much of boost  her two lines of motivational words would be for the artiste who, even having won numerous titles over the years, keeps his ear to the ground and prays for the acceptance of the masses in the prelude to carnival each year. 

Already, Winchester has delivered two slamming hot tracks. "Wine on It" on the Overproof riddim proved to be a creeper that has certainly proven itself in recent weeks, while "Harder" on King Bubba's Rich Boy riddim is first class, according to real music lovers. 

Ahead of C2K12, Tobago born Winchester is calmer than in recent years. His presence in the industry over the years has taught him quite a lot and as he prepares for yet another season of revelry in T&T, Shurwayne's getting set to deliver his unique blend of music to those who will truly understand what he stands for- that being the preservation of T&T's culture and the development of the soca genre. 

As for the S.O.E. currently being experienced on the island, Winchester's passing his time in the studio.  He's promising to release another single in the weeks ahead and there's no doubt in the minds of those who know him best that he will deliver! All he asks is for his supporters to keep doing what they're doing...requesting the music wherever they can, so that he can perform for them in the heat of the C2K12 season!

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.
