JAMAICA’S premier oldies party Heineken Good Times will be a celebration of lovers on Saturday February 27 at the Chinese Benevolent Association (CBA) in Kingston with the ‘Red and White Retro Gear’ edition.

Good Times kicks off its 2010 series with its first ‘dress code specific’ edition, urging all the lovers to come out and enjoy music with a difference in their red and white gear. The theme of the event is ‘Love Mi Lover Bad’ from the song of the same name by deejay Flourgon and crooner Sanchez.

Event organiser Jerome Hamilton of the Quorum explained “This Heineken Good Times will be a Valentine’s special geared for the lovers who love to dance to music of all times.”

To mark the occasion, the organisers are pairing two yet-to-be-announced disc jocks who, while new to the event, are expected to rock the crowd with their specialty – 80s music for lovers. According to Hamilton while persons love the ‘consistency’ of Heineken Good Times events, this year they plan to make the events bigger and better. Held alternatively in Kingston at the Mas Camp on Oxford Road and the Chinese Benevolent Association, Hamilton says CBA offers a unique experience to partygoers.

Equipped with a designated parking area, Hamilton elaborated on CBA’s other advantages saying, “We like that venue because it gives you three different atmospheres. You have inside for the lovers, you have a Heineken VIP area, and then there’s outside for the persons who like to take it easy. For this edition we’re urging persons to come out early and for lovers to dance up, close and personal.”

‘Heineken Good Times: Love Mi Lover Bad’ is the first of four Good Times events slated to be held this year, with the others being planned for May, August and November. Heineken Good Times also returns to May Pen and Ocho Rios this summer with final arrangements being made for the first ever Good Times in New York being implemented.

Patrons are also being urged to take a tin of food for the Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre to be left at the entrance of the CBA. The Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre has been a beneficiary of the Good Times series since 1997.
