Yesterday, Kubba and I were talking about setting up a daytime beach Live reggae show on the beach. The idea is to have a Thursday beach party at the Negril Beach Park from 2pm to 7pm with live music. We would like to hear from all of you - would you want to have a daytime music venue and if so, what would you like to see offered at this Thursday event.
Please feel free to leave us your input!
I think it's a great idea..a venue to hear live music during the day on the beach, have some food, drinks etc... a beach side location to watch the sunset with music.
What about some of the better beach musicians?
Great idea!:D
Rob,
Great idea! And I second Lizardbeth.. I'd love to hear more of some of the beach talent..
I like it Rob. We are not night owls and almost never are awake long enough to enjoy the evening entertainment. Rum may have something to do with that :)
I would be willing to listen to any decent sounding group or individual. Some of the Mento groups, some steel drums, like suggested some of the beach musicians.
Looking forward to this
Steve
Rob, Sounds great! Nice time line.
I think just mellow reggae music..........with a picnic lunch. IMO
Great idea live music in the afternoon would be cool.
Brilliant idea, Rob! And love the idea of featuring local talent. Does it need to be the same thing all the time? So much talent; so many different types of music. Sounds win-win to me.
Sounds like a great idea!
Great idea, Rob! I prefer classic reggae and mento, and think that would appeal to the majority as well. A bar would help add to the profit picture. The vendors will find the venue...no worries there!
Love idea, but i don't know that I am thrilled of location....not for any one reason or another, but I understand it is centrally located for cliff peps and sand peps. I know you are looking for ideas and I agree with others that alcohol and food vendors is a plus. Hypothetically, if music started at 2pm-6pm...I would $20-$40/per depending on the talent, we'd pay the same rates for beer as served at night time venues, and i'd pay the every day cost for food the vendors charge. I think its a great idea.
I think that this is a good opportunity for people to donate to one of the various orgs. that need some fund raising. For example, there might be a school in need of a microscope...well a small space for the Negril Microscope fund, or selling t shirts to help fund the Negril Coral Reef Preservation Society. Maybe a portion of a small donation at the gate may be used to help the org. designated for that day. Imagine***A Portion of Todays' Sales Will Be Used To Protect Our Coral Reef...
Secondly...do it in the shade!
great idea!!
Don't limit yourself in terms of music. 5 hours a week is a lot to fill.. trust me. I'd do bands and beach talent and DJ's. Make sure they're not playing offense stuff or uptempo stuff and you'll be golden. And you've got to have some sort of bar.
The tourists are ready to jam by 2:00.. most are in bed early. I've seen AI bars that were completely dead by 9pm so this really is a great idea. I'd be honored to DJ some old school roots for you for free. Let me know. ;0)
Still looking for feedback for the new Thursday event - let us know your ideas!
Could the One Love Shuttle do it's run to get people there and back?
