'Powerful Men' for charity show
published: Friday | November 14, 2003

FIRST IT was the Jamaican powerful women who performed for Mustard Seed Communities; now a number of the island's male leaders have decided to display their talents on stage to benefit the charity.

Come Sunday, November 30 at 6 p.m. on the lawns of Jamaica House, a number of men, whose names are often heard and seen in the media, will dance, play instruments, sing, DJ, perform magic and comedy and model.

PERFORMERS

Among those who have already agreed to perform are: Minister of Health, Hon. John Junor; Police Commissioner, Francis Forbes; Political Ombudsman, Howard Hamilton; Broadcasters Cliff Hughes; Simon Crosskill and Michael Anthony Cuffe; Executive Director of the Broadcasting Commission, Cordel Green; Dennis Morrison, QC; Consul-tant Psychiatrist, Dr. Aggrey Irons; Managing Director of Jamaica Observer, Mark Pritchett - a former guitarist with David Bowie; Professors Brian Meeks and Trevor Munroe of the Department of Government, UWI; Lecturer of the Department of Sociology at UWI, Dr. Kingsley Stewart; former Aide de Camp to the Governor-General, Major Chris Lobban; International Strategist for AIC, Peter Lawson; Director of Capital & Credit, Andrew Cocking; Medical Doctor, Dr. Winston Delahaye; Consultant Radiologist, Dr. Winston Clarke; Executive Director of the Institute of Jamaica, Mr. Vivian Crawford; Advisor to the Ministry of National Security, Franz Clarke and Insurance Sales Representative,Cedric McDonald.

ON REQUEST

According to the chairman of the organising committee, Thyra Heaven, the show on Sunday, November 30 is expected to be sold out during the week of November 17 when tickets go on sale at Island Grill, located at Manor Park, Half-Way Tree and Sovereign Centre; Bijoux in New Kingston and Skytech, Sovereign Centre.

"We were encouraged to put on the Powerful Men Show when requests started to come in from the male leaders of the society for an avenue to express themselves and raise funds for the Mustard Seed Communities. In fact, I think they got jealous when they saw the amount of money several of the island's influential women had been raising for the charity. So, we look forward to great support from the public for this event," Mrs. Heaven said.

"The show promises to be outstanding, as I think the men will be going all out to match or surpass the show of the women. And this should prove to be exciting and good fun," Mrs. Heaven continued.

Fabulous Five will be the backing band for the Powerful Men For Charity Show.
