Jamaican socialites were out in droves for tribute concert

A cool, easy reggae jamming atmosphere, excited guests and a star-studded event, perfectly summarises what was the 50th anniversary of 1972 film The Harder They Come.

There was also a tribute concert at 10A West Kings House Road in St Andrew in honour of Jamaican music legend  Jimmy Cliff, who starred in the Perry Henzell-directed film.

With an ice cold bottle of Red Stripe, Greg Silverman is here to celebrate a legend.

With performances by Cliff himelf, Marcia Griffiths, Bounty Killa, Tanya Stephens and many more, patrons were given a real treat last Saturday night (June 4). 

The event was a huge success and pulled out the socialites in Jamaican society, who also viewed a masterfully curated exhibition on the film.

Reading Time: < 1 minuteDancehall entertainer Andrae “Squash” Whittaker was on Monday sentenced to two years and three months in federal prison after pleading guilty in a Miami court to possessing a firearm while living illegally in the United States.

Whittaker, a native of Salt Spring in Montego Bay, was arrested earlier this year during a police traffic stop in Miami, where officers reportedly found a firearm inside the vehicle he was travelling in. According to US authorities, the weapon had been altered with a device commonly referred to in Jamaica as a “chip glock”, which enables rapid fire.
