The 'Fireman's' show reigns despite rain

INTERMITTENT SHOWERS could not dampen the spirits of patrons at 'A St. Mary Wi Come From: Part II' (Capleton's charity show) from having a good time.

Despite an incident involving Beenie Man and Capleton, the show was outstanding for the most part.

The show, which started at 10:00 p.m., saw several up and coming acts performing - most of whom failed to please the audience. Then came the rains which forced patrons and the show organisers to scurry for cover.

When the rains ceased, Patriot rejuvenated the vibes. His songs were filled with harsh criticisms of the "Babylon" system. He was followed by Eddie Fitzroy, whose hits such as Prison Life and Princess Black had the crowd in a frenzy.

George Nooks had the crowd eating out of his hand when he delivered hits from the past and present.

Bongo Herman and Admiral Tibet gave good accounts of themselves. Herman sang and played instruments such as the drums while Admiral Tibet pleased as every song he delivered went down well with the Clemhard Park audience.

Richie Spice delivered a short, sweet stint and Tony Rebel followed. Rebel chatted with the audience, paid tribute to the women and lambasted the government about the stance they have taken on ganja.

Junior Reid and his sons did well and had the crowd rocking to their songs.

Lukewarm performances from some of the members of David House didn't do much to help the event and only added to the misery of an audience who were already uncomfortable with the rain and muddy conditions.

The deejays such as Lexxus, Power Man and Chuck Fender revived the crowd somewhat, even though they spent a good portion of their time fighting over the microphones.

Other artistes who performed well were Coco T, Sizzla, Louie Culture, Elephant Man, Jah Cure, Capleton and Natural Black.
