Ambassador Theatre in Trench Town
Trench Town is known as the birthplace of reggae music. The number of musical greats that have come from Trench Town, including Bob Marley, is astounding. Ambassador Theatre located in Trench Town, was a place where much of Jamaica's musical talent was showcased. On November 17 the theatre will be the scene of JaMIN at the 'BAS, a concert featuring Derrick Harriott, Ken Boothe, Alaine and others. Also, the top finalists of the JaMIN song competition will perform and the winner will be announced. The Ambassador Theatre which has not been in use for some time is being brought back and the plan is to transform Trench Town into a cultural village.

Ambassador Theatre is located at 1 1/2 Collie Smith Drive. The concert starts at 7.00 p.m. For further details or to purchase tickets contact 876 412 9950.

Reggae Sumfest took place between July 17 and July 24 this year. If you've never been to Sumfest, you really have missed out on a one of a kind experience. The music, the food, the booths, the characters (hoo boy) all under the open sky. This year's Sumfest featured major Jamaican and international artistes including Shaggy, Tarrus Riley, Etana, Chris Brown, and Usher.

We've put together a list of reviews of this year's show for those of you who missed it and for those of you who went but are curious about what others thought.
