Asylum chief says 'sorry'
Brian Chung, owner of the Asylum Night Club is apologizing for the premature end to the club's 10th anniversary celebrations, held at Mas Camp on Saturday.
Proceedings reportedly came to an unscheduled end when a generator in the building went dead.
During an interview today, Mr. Chung explained, "We had two generators at the venue, one for the sound system and the other for the lights. At around 4:00AM Sunday morning the generator for the sound burnt up and we were unable to fix it in time which resulted in the abrupt end to the celebration."
Further, he revealed that Shaggy and Sean Paul who were the surprise acts of the night were unable to perform due to the technical glitch.

Byron Lee still a run tings
A free concert held on Sunday in Peacock Park, Coconut Grove, Miami, brought out a massive crowd of around 5000 people who enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Caribbean from 3:00PM until 11:00PM. Byron Lee and The Dragonairs punched out their powerful rhythms that never cease to captivate. As audience members showed their pleasure in vibrant movement and song, Jamaica's leading Calypsonian kept up the rhythmic pulsating beats. "Byron can't done...him sell off," a patron exclaimed.
The days entertainment was provided by a good cross section of cultural greats. The Caribbean Folk Dancers threw down some fancy footwork to wonderful sounds and Jovi gave an excellent presentation, as did the eldest Marley son, Ziggy.
