News Brief
Money O Sundays off to good start
Macka Diamond's Money O Sundays kicked off last week in Old Harbour, (Beside the Old Harbour Tax Office).
The free event enjoyed a decent turnout. Speaking with Karl Larmond he said at first the people were rather skeptical regarding the fact whether Macka would turn up or not, but as soon as Macka arrived at the venue they started coming in.
The vibes was right and patrons enjoyed themselves to the max. The only stipulation on the night came from the police and it was that they obeyed the night noise act. Keeping that fact in mind the dance ended at 2:30 am. "There are a lot of weekly events and Macka Diamond wanted to do something in that vein," Karl Larmond told YardFlex.
Unlike some events that attract a cover charge, Money O Sundays is free and come Sunday night, it is hoped that the DJ will have a special guest artiste there. "She is talking to a certain top artiste and everything looks promising," Larmond promised.

Tarrus Riley is the new face of Ocean Spray
It's official! Reggae crooner Tarrus Riley is now the face of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice in Jamaica. This was revealed at a launch this week at Devon House.
Tarrus who has won numerous awards this year including Richie B's Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards, and the IRAWMA, will be the face of the product for the next two years.
WYSINCO group managing director William Mahfood said Tarrus was a natural fit for Ocean Spray. With his wholesome songs it makes for good synergy between the two.
Dubbed an evening with Tarrus Riley, the singer entertained the specially invited guest when he performed a few of his top songs including 'Lion Paw', 'Stay With You' and the super hit 'She's Royal'.
