The venue was jam-packed as scores of persons turned out to support the cause and revel in the authentic sound system experience of dub, roots and reggae heritage.

Described by organisers as more than a party, Dubwise is set up to be a cultural moment honouring the legacy and evolution of reggae music.

The work of the Breds Foundation is concentrated in St Elizabeth and while the foundation has been critical in supporting seaside communities after hurricanes Beryl and Melissa, it is an organisation committed to community development and youth empowerment.
