Closing off Tuesday’s launch of his ‘A St Mary Mi Come From 2010′, deejay Capleton committed to a much longer than usual performance at the Grays Inn Complex on Independence Day.

This is after the event, subtitled ‘Sons and Daughters of Legends’, begins on Thursday, August 5, with a children’s treat in the day and expectations of a music
marathon in the night. Capleton plans to include a special showing of his own.

“This year me a go make sure do a hour and a half. Over the years me no get fe perform,” he said. He also had advice for the security forces. “Tell the police fe go easy. Tell the security fe go easy. If yu go hard yu jus’ turn down the volume of the beneficiaries,” he said, adding that there was no sponsorship from the ‘top people’.

Launch host Norma Brown-Bell also noted the lack of sponsorship and, in that context, the ironic growth of the show. “Every year the show gets bigger and bigger and bigger, despite the lack of corporate sponsorship,” she read.

Still, there are those organisations which have given continued support, among them the Gray’s Inn Sports Complex, IRIE-FM, HYPE TV, Catherine’s Peak, Pepsi Cola Jamaica Ltd, Courts Jamaica Ltd and St Mary Banana Chips/JP Tropical. Stepping up to the sponsorship plate this year are Events R Us, On Stage, MDTV, House of Hits Records, Maxwell’s Haulage and Construction, Downsound Records, Mack Squad Security and Tru Tone Stage, Sound and Lighting.

With the sons and daughters of legends concept, the Big Ship Family will have the first generation of Freddie McGregor, along with Chino, Yeshemebeth, Stephen and Laden. Andrew and Wada Blood (Junior Reid’s sons), Esco (Errol Thompson’s son), Abatoir (Tony Rebel’s son), Kashief Lindo (Willie Lindo’s son), Fire Passion (Sugar Minott’s daughter), Andrew Tosh (Peter Tosh’s son) and Nicky B (Mickey Bennett’s son) also make the line-up.

In addition, Beenie Man, Mavado, Lady G, Cocoa Tea, Louie Culture, Chuck Fender, Turbulence and, of course, Capleton, will be on stage.

Abatoir was the sole son of a legend to perform at Tuesday night’s launch, dancers Gabbidon and Company, Bongo Herman, Lucan I, Toya, Furious, Jahvante and Influential also doing brief performances.

The focus on charity was emphasised time and again throughout the launch, but Capleton’s personal manager, Claudette Kemp, also pointed out that “Capleton has an ongoing charity event, not just August 5″. As such, those who wish to contribute outside of supporting ‘A St Mary Mi Come From’ are encouraged to do so.
