PLANS are already under way for the second instalment of Red Rose for Gregory slated for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2018 at Jamaica College on Hope Road in Kingston.
Part proceeds of February’s staging was donated to Patrica House Rehabilitation Centre located on Upper Musgrave Avenue in Kington.
June Issacs, widow of singer Gregory Isaacs and founder of the Gregory Issacs Foundation, said the event’s next staging will be first-class entertainment for lovers.
Included in the line-up is American R&B Kelly Price. The singer is known for hit songs like He Proposed, Friend of Mine and As We Lay.
“Kelly is the ideal performer after a great performance from Atlantic Starr earlier this year. We are very excited to have her in concert and we are looking forward to a fantastic show,” Isaacs told Splash.
“Last staging we kept true to our promise to donate to Patricia House and this coming year we intend to do the same”.
For over 15 years Patricia House has provided support for substance abuse addicts, in particular crack/cocaine. They are known for providing drug treatment and counselling for challenged individuals.
Gregory Isaacs died of lung cancer on 25 October 2010 at his home in London. The singer, over the years, battled drug addiction.
Set up in July 2011, the Gregory Isaacs Foundation is geared at charitable work.
