The ‘big ship’ captain Freddie McGregor and Reggae Sumfest boss Joe Bagdanovich are now on board the entertainment music Call to Action: “Entertainers Against Crime and Violence”. The mega concert, envisioned to draw up to 50 Jamaican entertainers, is destined for Dump Up Beach, December 4, 2016 and scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m.
“Entertainers Against Crime and Violence” is a voluntary effort by entertainers, both gospel and secular, coming together as one voice. Together they make a statement that crime and violence is crippling the entire entertainment industry as people are not coming out to see performers, neither nor police giving permits for events in what is considered a war zone. This further affects the persons who make a livelihood from these events.
McGregor was quick to get on board, being dissatisfied with the current crime situation and its effect on the music industry. Bogdanovich, the new owner of Reggae Sumfest, feels his contribution to this venture will help to bring about stability to the life of the people. Like a jolt of energy, it will help to reinvigorate the music industry, and prepare for the staging of the ‘world’s biggest reggae festival’ coming up in July 2017.
More than 50 entertainers are already confirmed for the event. Everton Blender, Mutabaruka, Tony Rebel, Queen Ifrica, Nesbeth, Spice, Bushman, Mackie Conscious, Taddy P, I Wayne, Hezron, Nature Ellis, Persons of Interest, Live Wyya , Bung Guh Lung, Lt Stichie, Paul Blake , just to mention a few.
The production team warmly welcomes any corporate sponsors who want to join this important venture. There is still room for willing sponsors to join this initiative by supporting and financing an event of this magnitude.
To date IRIE FM, Mello FM, Reggae Sumfest, John Swaby Entertainment, Knutsford Express, M & M Sewers and Drain, Western Mirror, UDC, Power Plus Hardware, Visual City Ads, and JACAP and The Rebel Salute Foundation, have all taken the lead in sponsorship.
