Firefly Summer Lick - July 6th: Ease into the Week...
"It is almost time for our second Firefly (Oracabessa) Summerlick - Next weekend July 6th. It is worth the drive to come out and spend the day listening to some mellow sounds, eating some yummy food and sipping something cool. Lascelles will have a selection of wines available as part of the package, and there will be Blackwell Rum for tasting. Come with a group or alone with a book! It will be a casual Island vibe..."

Word Play - and look out for KOTE coverage
Kingston's underground indulges in wordplay
Kingston, Ja - JUNE 18, 2008 - Kingston's latest underground event, WordPlay: Poetry. Music. Art., will have tongues wagging with its fresh and eclectic line up of young talent. This alternative form of entertainment is slated to re-launch the monthly series beginning July 20, 2008 at the Altamont Court Hotel's Luxur Suite at 8pm. The show is geared toward exposing and cultivating underground genres using the radical blend of 'floetry', dub, reggae, old school hip hop, jazz and soul - all performed live.
Fusion of Poetry and Live Music
WordPlay was introduced in November 2006 by Simple Chaos Entertainment and began as the fusion of Poetry and Jazz. After the closure of the original venue the concept of WordPlay has been broadened to include the fusion of various genres in such a way as to ensure the singularity of the show. All artistes performing on WordPlay make use of a completely live set, which encourages a vastly different sound, feel and atmosphere than can be had elsewhere in Kingston. Additionally, artistes are encouraged to go outside of their comfort zone and create an offering that is far from main-stream.
First Installment
The re-launch of WordPlay promises to be the premiere in live entertainment and will feature live performances by, among others, Sarah Couch – daughter of renowned singer and pianist, Suzanne Couch; this exceptionally talented singer/songwriter revels in the joys of music; Mo' Scherrie – the winner of various national awards for her poetry, Mo'Scherrie is also an author with a book in production as well as the creator and director of Concept One, the name behind videos such as Tarrus Riley's 'She's Royal'; and Kali – talented rapper, songwriter, painter, dancer and actress. The show will be hosted by Miss Jamaica World 2001, Regina Beavers and Kamila Ann McDonald, who are also the upcoming recording artistes more popularly known as Gina Stars and Meela K of the underground R&B sensation, True Kolors.
