the 3-night celebration of Jah Cure's
release, are being held this weekend October
12th - 14th. Preparations have been on in
earnest and according to promoter Delmar
"Della" Drummond of Danger Promotions plans
are going well.
"There
is a big buzz on the street about the event.
Both fans and artistes are enthusiastic to
be a part of Jah Cure's return. We have been
getting a lot of calls from prospective
patrons as well as from persons who want to
be a part of the event."

biggest artistes in the business right now.
"I
highly anticipate performing at Curefest and
I can't wait to finally see Jah Cure in full
flight. Jah Cure's fans have been waiting a
long time for him to perform for them and I
think the show will be a big success and the
fans will be left satisfied." - CeCile
"It's
a great joy to work on a show of such
magnitude. The people have been waiting a
long time and I feel privileged to be able
to share in their celebration with the man
Jah Cure." - Lutan Fyah
Some
fans that have waited for the last minute to
make arrangements to attend Curefest will
discover it somewhat difficult to find
accommodations near the venue at the
Trelawny Multi Purpose Stadium as hoteliers
are reporting that the many fans that will
be attending the events have reserved most
of their rooms. However there are still
rooms available at other hotels not so close
to the venue, but fans need to hurry.
"Hotels in Trelawny are booked up, we as the
promoters can't even find a place to stay."

class event and have been working hard to

place to ensure the fans are comfortable. At
the Multi Purpose Stadium ample parking and

"We
have received a lot of support from the
Trelawny police and health department and
the surrounding community have been very
supportive. Ticket sales online (mostly
overseas) are going well and local ticket
outlets are also doing good business. We
also have International media like Vibe
Magazine, LA Times, and Billboard coming to
cover the event as well as our local media
houses. " - Delmar Drummond
