Veteran deejay Yellowman and singer Ken Boothe are slated to perform on the monthly series, Clarendon LIVE, at Fyah Side Jerk and Bar in Toll Gate this evening.

Dubbed the Retro Edition, the event is promoted by EppJam Production and StreetCreed Jamaica. The acts will be backed by Step By Step band.

Joseph Moore, CEO of EppJam Production, shared the thinking behind the series.

“We saw a need in Clarendon for LIVE entertainment and are excited that the people in Manchester, Clarendon, and St Catherine agree and have come out to support,” said Moore.

Yellowman is elated to be performing in Clarendon.

“It’s a pleasure to perform for Clarendon after such a long time being away from the parish. Touring the world is great, but performing for Jamaicans is always a pleasure, so Clarendon, come out and take in a rare and exciting show” said Yellowman, who has not been on a Clarendon stage for the past seven years.

Yellowman is known for hits including Operation Eradication, Mr Chin, Sensimilla and Zungguzungguguzungguzeng.

Boothe, a perennial favourite, is known for classics such as Puppet on a String, Everything I Own and Silver Words.

“Two great acts, Ken Boothe and Yellowman, on one stage which Clarendon has not seen in so long, is a major reason for patrons to come out this Friday night for Clarendon LIVE. It’s the perfect way to de-stress from a long week as well,” said Ravenne Reid, social media director of StreetCred Jamaica.

Started last month, Clarendon LIVE is slated to run until August.
