Members of the entertainment fraternity locally and overseas are seeking to strengthened the ties between Jamaica and Britain through a week of parties along the hip strip in Montego Bay come March 8-15.
Dubbed Brit Jam, the inaugural staging of the event will see eight days worth of non-stop partying in the second city was intentionally hosted during the Spring Break period to revive the tourism capital to its former glory of hosting vibrant entertainment activities for tourist and locals alike during this special period.
Promoter of the event Rhoan ‘DJ Face’ Woolery told journalist at a media launch at Twisted Kilt in Montego Bay that “we want to inject Spring Break life back into Montego Bay, when I was growing up, there used to be a host of activities taking place here in Montego Bay during this period. Now everything (entertainment) seemed to have moved to Negril and we want to just bring it back while encouraging a host of Britons and other European nationals to come to Jamaica and party with us”.
He went further to lament that Jamaica is not all about crime and violence “we know how to show you a great time here through entertainment and that is what we seek to promote in England by hosting this event whether for first time visitors of members of the Diaspora in Britain. This is an event for everyone, locals and international visitors alike”.
Brit Jam 2010 kicks off with on Monday March 8th with a Welcome Party at Twisted Kilt which then follows an entire week of theme parties along the Hip Strip (Gloucester Avenue) including Catamaran Cruise parties. However, BritJam climaxes on March 14th when Vybz Kartel, Ding Dong, Chi Ching Ching, Flippa Mafia and Bugle invade Aqua Sol Theme Park in Montego Bay at the BritJam Fantasy Island (Grand Escape) party.
