Beenie Man LANCASTER, PA SHOW RE-SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 26TH Jamaican Dave Productions announced on Wednesday, October 2, 2002 that, due to forces beyond its control, the Beenie Man concert scheduled to be held tonight, Thursday, October 3, 2002 at Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA has been re-scheduled for Tuesday, November 26, 2002. Beenie Man's management, booking agency as well as Virgin Records (his record label) regretfully informed Jamaican Dave Productions on Wednesday evening that the artist, who experienced problems with his visa renewal back home in Jamaica, would not be able to enter the United States in time to make the performance set for this Thursday evening. The Lancaster show is a part of Beenie Man's major tour of the United States scheduled to promote his new album "Tropical Storm" which includes his hit song "Feel It Boy" featuring Janet Jackson. The concert, which was a near sell out, has been widely anticipated throughout Lancaster and the entire Central Pennsylvania area since it had been announced last month. Within the next 48 Hours, Beenie Man himself has been scheduled to make a personal apology to fans via a telephone interview on Lancaster's own FM 97, WLAN. Jamaican Dave Concerts wants to thank all the customers who have supported its reggae music events at the Chameleon Club. The Philadelphia based reggae/world music company, which has earned a reputation for promoting and producing four very successful reggae events at the Chameleon Club last year, including Luciano, Capelton, Third World and Buju Banton, is looking forward to making the re-scheduled Beenie Man concert its best Lancaster event to date. All tickets purchased for the October 3, 2002 concert shall be honored at the November 26, 2002 concert. Tickets for the November 26, 2002 Beenie Man performance shall be going on resale at all area Ticketmaster locations. Anyone with questions regarding the re-scheduling of the concert can contact Jamaican Dave Productions at (215) 271-3871.

Bounty Killer sends out congratulations to the winner of the 2003 Reggae Grammy - Lee "Scracth" Perry. They say everything starts from Scratch, so for all his years of livication to Reggae music, and for Jamaican ET, he deserves the award. We gather that some Reggae fans were upset with the decision, inundating radio talkshows in Yard and abroad with calls protesting at Scratch's win. This seems to be largely due to the fact that people don't know who the man is. Just as a young Rodney Price used to walk past Scratch's home, on his way to Riverton City, and believe he was merely a madman, a lot of people still feel this way. But Rodney Price matured and realised the contribution Lee Perry has made to Jamaican music, and his props are long overdue. The Reggae Grammy will make more people aware of Scratch, getting him the recognition he deserves. If you were tuned into WTRN last Monday night, you would have heard Bounty Killer explaining this. The New York radio station was overrun with calls about the Grammy, and they tracked down Bounty via Junior Rider's cellphone.
