wow Day 3 is my day! Anyone have any other info yet.
Thanks for the info, JamaGinger! There are a couple different threads related to the Bob Marley Birthday Bash, but this is the first to list the actual artists.
If Day 5 is Feb. 6, looks like I'm SOL, as that is the day we are leaving (unless I extend our trip ;) ). Day 3 is pretty solid, as well. I've been trying to catch Yellowman for some time. Plus it will be cool to see Lee Perry.
Don't be fooled ...Mr. Perry's being given an award ...
It doesn't say "that he's performing " ????
Check with the Kubba ...
Yeah, I did pick up on that. That's why I said it would be cool to "see" him - in person, that is - even if its just to make an appearance. The guy is definitely a character.Quote:

Very welcome, Mike_D. I just stumbled across that running some searches.
Anyone on island see any signs about entertainment for Bob Marley's birthday? Anything on concerts at MX3?
I am wondering about this too, since over the weekend I saw an obscure post on some website that said it might be cancelled due to an issue around the noise abatement law. I would like to come down that week, but I just do not feel totally convinced that it is going to happen. Anybody down there that can help us out?
This Wednesday January 15th they are having the "official launch" at Pushcart, should get all of the details and the final lineup then. I wouldn't worry too much about it being cancelled.
Thanks, Kikn.
Emailed Mr. Pringle a couple of hours ago who replied and said exactly what Kiknback said above, so everything irie.
