THE master of Lovers’ Rock, the inimitable Beres Hammond, will return to Guyana on January 3, 2015 for a mega concert promoted by McNeil Enterprise and Hits and Jams.

Hammond, a reggae singer known in particular for his romantic lovers’ rock and soulful voice, will share the stage with rising Jamaican reggae star Romain Virgo in a concert being billed “More Beres” and slated to be staged at the National Stadium at Providence.

This concert intends to blend the mature sounds of Hammond with the contemporary style of Virgo, who hails from the Jamaican Parish of St Ann’s and rose to prominence after winning the Digicel Rising Stars competition in 2007. Virgo recorded his first hit record, “Mi Caan Sleep”, on the Penthouse label, and several hits followed, including “Wanna Go Home”, “Live Mi Life”, and “Alton’s Medley”. In June 2010, VP Records released his debut album, self-titled Romain Virgo.

While Virgo would be making his maiden appearance in Guyana, Hammond is a household name here, in the Caribbean, North America and Europe, where he has wide crossover appeal. Hammond’s hit list stretches for miles and include ‘I feel Good’; ‘Putting Up Resistance’; ‘Rock Away’; ‘No Disturb Sign’, and many more.

Appearing along with the Jamaican duo are local artistes Mingles Sound Machine, Jackie Hanover and Super Ray.
Early Bird tickets go on sale from Friday, December 19. Early Bird VIP tickets are priced at $16,000, while Early Bird Ordinary are going at $2,500 each.

Over the past two years, McNeil Enterprises and Hits and Jams have collaborated to promote some of the best concerts held in Guyana, bringing such truly stellar artistes as R. Kelly and John Legend.
