Alkaline

It is a one-of-a-kind event for adults only that has had tongues wagging since its inception two years ago. Last year, the turnout was bigger than the previous, and this year, promoter Lloyd Cameron expects an even bigger turnout for Shades Pon de Beach 2014.

"It's going to be bigger and better," Cameron said. "We have some activities during the day. it's going to be a lot more exciting and we have three very good top-line artistes booked."

Shades Pon de Beach takes place on Sunday, July 27 at Sugar Pot Beach Club at Rio Nuevo Beach in St Mary, and features main acts Alkaline, Venomous and Gage.

The show begins at 11 a.m. and goes on until the early hours of the next morning. The main acts will appear in the night, but there will be a stage presentation earlier that will feature up-and-coming artistes.

The event will introduce a new act that seems to have a bright future, a singer by the name of Ramon Saviour.

The show is basically taking Shades Nightclub to the beach for wider audience participation.

The show will feature something that is only available to persons vacationing at some of our resorts on the north coast, that is, a nude beach. This will be separate from the main venue where a plethora of activities will take place, including amateur exotic dance contest, bikini beach soccer, half-naked Olympics, oil wrestling, wet t-shirt contest, body painting, naked sack race, fire dancing, and more.
