Bay View by day, [Tim] Bamboo by Night: Portie Mothers Get Fetedy

Lukie D thrilled at Tim Bamboo

"Lust" is listed as one of seven deadly sins, but it took only one-quarter of L.U.S.T. the pop-reggae harmonizers, to put a scintillating stamp on a Mother's Day Sunday of entertainment in Port Antonio. Lukie D, the "L" showed that he was well capable of thrillin an audience all by himself as the featured act on Hotel Tim Bamboo's programme (which actually saw brunch and dinner offered on the day).
The performer unapologetically set the tone for the night with a suitably stirring rendition of Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" the audience immediately joininig in.

Thereafter, a thoroughly energetic and professional set , backed impeccably by the Natural Vibez band, saw the seasoned performer romping through ska, gospel and roots reggae classics as well as dipping into the L.U.S.T. catalogue

All of which helped the full house of patrons dig into a sumptuous four-course meal.


Earlier in the day, at Bay View Eco Resort, the reception/dining hall upstairs the pool deck (the latter marked by sweeping views of  Dolphin Bay/Turtle Crawle as well as the hotel's lush greenery and installed solar panels

Upstairs, patrons feasted on hotel fare which included chicken ham and fish all in a tangy sauce and pistachio ice cream for dessert, a repast made palatable by the ultra smooth selections of Stone Love legend Rory 9supported by Jaabo Sound), and the  striking African-oriented fashions of Aya Wear whose proprietor/designer Arlene Passley is an enrtertainment all-rounder herself.

Jah 9 will soon release debut album

After the visual stimulation Jah9 took the room and delivered for the brain and the heart, offereing cuts from her upcoming debut album, "New Name" a video for which the artiste recently shot in the scenic Blue Mountains (more on that in a later post).

At Tim Bamboo (on the eastern edge of town), ladies were presented with a rose upon arrival and ushered into the dining hall.
