Most of the regular musicians around Negril play at all the bars you've listed...they do have their regular gigs but rotate and play at each establishment from time to time. You'll hear reggae at ALL places.

Drifters offers a more mixed selection of music....when those that came down in late January for the Negril Blues Fest some of those performers dropped by during the Drifters afternoon shows...along with the talented Luddy singing a mix of Drifters style music and always a mix of the fabulous reggae singers that perform around town.

Otis Gayle is a wonderful singer who sings regularly at Boat Bar and Half Moon Bay...but you can see him sometimes at Drifters.

Ahhh Bee's on the West End has live music at Sunday Brunch only...similar idea to Cafe Goa on the beach (Cafe Goa has a mento/acoustic band though). Gary Cooper plays at all locations & Sunday at Ahhh Bees..."The band will be here and you just never know who's going to drop by and play and/or sing with the band."

So having said all that...go with the great suggestions given in this thread or just go with whatever vibe you're feeling that day...you can't miss at any of the locations.
