MONTEGO BAY, St James — ORGANISERS of the inaugural staging of the Soul in the Sun Musical Festival to be held in Montego Bay from October 10-12 are promising excellent music and great food at the beach party, scheduled for the SeaWind Beach Club on the last day of the event.

“After having had two nights of live musical bliss, the event closes out at SeaWind Beach Club for what promises to be a day of music and good vibes,” said Junior Taylor, the producer of the festival.

“We felt that there was no need to hurry home after the live concerts and SeaWind Beach Club agreed, so other than great music being played all day, there will be great food and lots to drink as the beach club will be pulling out all the stops for patrons,” he said.

The live concerts, which will be held at the Aqueduct in Rose Hall will feature Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill, Dru Hill, Silk, LUST, Jeffrey Osborne, Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, Freddie Jackson, Howard Hewitt and Richie Stephens.

According to Taylor, the beach party will also feature music from yesteryear by three well-known deejays from “back in the day”. These include Collin Hines, Yohann Stephens and Turbo, who are all still relevant in the entertainment business.

The beach party, he said, begins at 12 noon and ends at 8:00pm.
