Danger Promotions reports that Jah Cure fans have been leaving countless messages on the Curefest hotline: 1-888-Jah-Cure. While the support is not a surprise to the promoters, they were not expecting the overwhelming amount of calls in such a short span of time.

JAH CURE. I can feel the energy of my supporters from behind these walls

"There is a crazy amount of calls coming in daily. The hotline was established to give information about Curefest, but fans have been leaving personal messages for Jah Cure. There is a lot of love out there for his music," says Della, a representative of Danger Promotions.

Danger Promotions asks that fans who leave messages on the 1-888-Jah-Cure line to be sure to leave their contact information to be able to receive Curefest and Jah Cure information.

On hearing about the messages left for him, Jah Cure reportedly expressed how grateful he was for the support. "I can feel the energy of my supporters from behind these walls. I feel great knowing that I have a positive message that people want to hear. I'm glad that something positive can come out of this negative situation.

I am very grateful, and give thanks," the release from Danger Promotions quotes Cure as saying.
Curefest is set to mark Jah Cure's first performance in eight years and is set for August 24-26, on the north coast. Danger Promotions, Iyah Cure Promotions and Brass Gate Promotions have teamed up to present this three-day event focusing on the work and music of the artiste.

'No-show' lawsuit settled

The lawsuit against veteran deejays, Charlie Chaplin and U-Roy, who failed to honour contractual agreements which forced the cancellation of an event in New York on which they were billed over a year ago, was settled out of court recently. Both entertainers returned the advance payments which they received from the promoter.

The case was brought against the two for having failed to honour a commitment to perform at a dance dubbed Relive The '80s on October 20, 2006, at the Amazonia Night Club, in Jamaica, New York.

The promoter of the event, Michael Bonnie Godfrey, claimed that he experienced an excessive amount of loss on promotion for the dance and accommodations including airfares for the artistes against whom he took legal action.

The case came up for mention in the Kingston Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday, March 16. At the time, singer/promoter and attorney-at-law, Hugo Barrington, who represented Chaplin, indicated that he was prepared to enter into negotiations in an effort to reach an amicable resolution.

His client subsequently returned the money he had received as advance payment ahead of his May 17 trial date.
In the meantime, U-Roy, who was unrepresented, told the court that he would do likewise. This he did recently prior to the eve of an European tour.
