		<description><![CDATA[If you would open your eyes and read the poster then you would see that it is not just a reggae/dancehall artist.  Have you heard Trevor Hall?  I would hardly call that reggae/dancehall and Dead Prez aren&#039;t a reggae group either.  If you want to bring in a superstar at the height of their career why don&#039;t you do it yourself and see how much it costs you and how much money you would make from it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though I am a little disheartened at the fact the Barrington Levy ( a voice which i grew up listening to) cannot come , Wayne Wonder is a talented artist as well, who I am sure will put on an act for all to enjoy, along with the other artists. 

To &quot;amen&quot; as you call yourself, its all about the majority and what they desire. Surely the event promoters will not organize a rock concert or country music concert in an island which primarily listens to reggae and dancehall. Thats a waste of time and money. They guarantee a huge turnout when brining reggae and dancehall artist. Let us not whine and complain about our own desires. Let us think about the bigger picture, who actually attends the concerts in mass numbers, and their preferred genre of music.

 Maybe whisper into some promoters&#039; ears about your sentiments. Im sure they&#039;ll listen. Let us not sit back on our chairs and type complaints without having first explored the avenue of taking action.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi there.....I would just like to address some stuff here. First, organizing an event like this is quite difficult. The number of people it takes to pull it off is huge. No one ever does this for the money or to get rich.

The &quot;not worth the $60&quot; comment is lame. It certainly is worth it. WHERE in Bermuda are you going to get THREE international acts for that price? Plus local acts, plus djs opening up? If you were to break it down, you&#039;d be paying about $16 per band. Less when you consider the djs and the couple of local acts. We think that&#039;s an incredible deal for something quality.
Besides, the price has been kept to $50 because people had been expecting Barrington Levy. Most unfortunate turn of events but there you go. We&#039;ll still have a great time and the best event of the night.

If you can&#039;t make it, we still hope you have a good time wherever you end up.]]></description>
