IRISH & CHINs NEXT STRIKE TO FULLJOY DE MASSIVE

Thousands of Reggae music fans poured into Irish and Chin's highly anticipated New York event "Reeewind" over the weekend.

Patrons hailed from far and wide, some stating that they traveled from as far as Atlanta and Miami, to take in the landmark staging.

And in return---all in attendance received several solid hours of "Rub-a-dub" entertainment provided by the one-and-only
King Stur Gav, Mighty Crown, Brigadier Jerry, General Trees, Capleton, Beenie Man, Sugar Minott and Santa Ranks.

Not even monsoon rain could dampen the vibes or attendance of "Reeewind."
With strong promotions by Irish and Chin and endorsement by New York's IrieJam radio, the flashback "Reeewind" was a success.

Three of the artists originally billed for "Reeewind" faced immigration issues. Namely, U-Roy, Luciano and Charlie Chaplin were unable to perform.
Never-the-less, Irish and Chin came up with a quick solution. While it was impossible to replace all three of the artists, the promoters identified a suitor.
Not only did Sugar Minott willingly fill in -- he mashed up the place with flawless vocals through out the night.
Irish and Chin is grateful that fans stuck in there despite last minute changes.

General Trees held his own rather impressively.
He entertained the fans through out the night with his ability to ride riddims continuously.
Meanwhile, Santa Ranks held it down for New York. Although Capleton's stints on the microphone were brief, the crowd went wild each time he touched the stage.
Capleton relied partly on his heavy catalogue of music, while on the mic. Never-the-less, the audience respected his presence.
Sugar Minott laced the "Rub-a-dub" riddims with perfection.
His full fledged vocals were the event's main ingredient.
From belting freestyle lyrics and those of his own hits to top Reggae and R&B selections, Sugar Minott was a force to be reckoned with.
At 4:00 AM, patrons were still trying to get in the sold-out event.
Even when the lights came on shortly after 4:30 AM, the audience was still enthralled.
Finally, Amazura emptied out and based on the exiting chatter, people were rather pleased with "Reeewind."
Irish and Chin was thrilled that people had a good time, without worries. This event exposed Irish and Chin to a wider audience.
