Looking for Ancel and Jumbo!

[YeahMon]

Hello everyone Im doing a little wedding planning on my day off and figured its never too early to procure music! Does anyone know how to contact Ancel W. Powell or Jumbo aka "Jamaica Jumbo"?

Both performed at a friends wedding a few years ago and i would LOVE to have them at mine! She was able to contact Ancel and his band through Selena's but from my understanding Selena's no longer exists.

We met Jumbo while having dinner at 3 Dives where he suddenly appeared and began serenading us with his guitar and angelic voice

Information for either would be greatly appreciated! Im also open to other band suggestions if I can not find these wonderful performers, but I would like to exhaust all of my resources before giving up on my search for Ancel!

I believe Ancel sings almost every Friday night at Coco La Palm. You may be able to reach him through them. If you call Coco ask for Keri ann who is the entertainment coordinator and she will probably give you his phone number. Sorry I don't know who Jumbo is. Ancel also walks the beach singing at Bloody Bay. Maybe someone going to RIU or Couples in the near future could get his phone number.

here is a video featuring Ancel's voice - great roots reggae singer (kind of a cross between Dennis Brown and Freddy MacGregor)

and her is another video showing Ancel performing on the beach - the footnotes on the video do give a phone number for Ancel but I am not sure if it is a current number (video was posted a few years ago).

Thank you Mo! I will definitely be contacting Coco la palm.

And BC thanks for the videos. I love Ancel's raspy, soulful, but friendly voice.

Rastagal thanks for the link. I've got it bookmarked now, because I've been coming to the board and searching threads to reference it

I bought one of Ancel's CD's at one of his performances a few years ago and listen to it all the time!
