Re: Negril's entertainment under siege? - wat do u tink of dis?

and typically there was coordination between the music venues in negril

one night is alfreds, one night is bourbon beach, one night is roots bamboo, one night one late night is The Jungle

and the vendors and barrels are out and flowing

wait staff, housekeepers

all that is affected

and i bet no one is walking around with a boom detector - i'm sure "noise" is subjective

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Seveen</div><div class="ubbcode-body">no one is disagreeing with noise abatement

the argument is that some places are getting licenses for music and some places are not

last night Luciano played at Bourbon Beach

Tanya is at Negril Escapes tonight i think

but MXIII which usually does all kind of shows for Bob's birthday can not get a license - noise or not

other venues have had the police walk in and shut them down (Pon the Rocks)

the town of negril is dependent on tourism

and tourists like good quality entertainment

the Rebel Salute concert ended at 8 AM

no one is advocating that in Negril

<span style="font-weight: bold">2 AM mon</span> </div></div>

I agree it should be fair. Outside venues should not go past 11:00 PM and inside venues should be allowed to go till 3:00 4:00 AM.
Of course I don't know the details but if you do you should write a letter to the authorities and copy it to the media.

Laws and regulations must be applied fairly.

as a nightly victim, I have to agree. Maybe it's time for the sound systems to donate their gargantuan - &quot;gOrgontuan&quot; - equipment and tubes to a museum and go hi-tech with wireless headphones. All they have to do is supply devices which are very expensive and comfortable and soon every patron will have one - from those who can really afford them to those who will steal them from spoilt children.I might even get a pair in order to tune in sometimes. If it's vibrations they want then they can use noiseless sub woofers. By the way, do the excessive sound vibrations keep away mosquitoes?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Smile Jamaica 2010 Called Off
</span>

Ghetto Youth’s International, organizers of the annual Bob Marley concert Smile Jamaica, have announced that the 2010 staging of the celebration of the King of Reggae’s birth would have to be called off, due to numerous circumstances.


Smile Jamaica spokesperson Norman Bryan, said yesterday that while the organisation was looking forward to staging the concert after “there are some extenuating circumstances that just cannot be ignored, and there’s no way we could proceed with the concert bearing them in mind.”


He added that the Marley family will still be celebrating Bob’s birthday and honouring his legacy in private.


Bryan also said that the Ghetto Youth’s International would be redoubling its efforts to make a 2011 staging possible.


“Ghetto Youths International will continue spreading the message of the Hon. Robert Nesta Marley, and we will be definitely putting our heads together to make 2011 the year Smile Jamaica returns from its hiatus.”


Smile Jamaica saw its historic birth in December of 1976, when it was held at the National Heroes Park in Kingston. The event took place a mere two days after gunmen almost ended Bob Marley’s life, and he was recuperating in the Blue Mountains. It was there that Marley magic reigned supreme yet again, as an injured Bob agreed to perform one song for the 80,000-strong throng of patrons. That one song turned into a magical 90 minute performance with Marley and the Wailers.
