Linden Town Week…
THE mining town of Linden will be celebrating its 40th anniversary as a township from the 25th April to the 3rd May with a series of events, workshops and festivities that will mark the Linden Town Week celebration. As part of the celebration, Ward Entertainment will host an international show and party at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground on Sunday, May 2nd from 21:00 hrs.

The show, “All White, Ladies Night” will feature Jamaican Dancehall diva, Macka Diamond known for her hits “Robbery, Money-O and Bun him” among several others. Macka is excited about headlining the Linden Town Week show and intends to put on a performance like never before.

She will be joined on stage by fellow Jamaican entertainers Deejay Nikki-Z who is the most celebrated Female Caribbean disc jokey and music selector, and the runner up of the Jamaican talent show “Rising Star”, young Princess Tia who is enjoying a fast rise in the Caribbean music industry.

Guyana will be represented at the All White, All Ladies affair by Timeka Marshall who continues to enjoy a take off to Caribbean stardom. Timeka will be fresh from her performance at the Barbados reggae event “Reggae on the Hill” and she intends to provide patrons with a performance that will showcase her growth and development as a seasoned artiste.

Show promoter Ryan Apple has indicated that the All White, Ladies Affair will be a Glow Party with a difference. Special glow lights have been imported to transform the MSC ground into more than a party atmosphere. “It will be a sea of glowing lights and whites,” he said. In addition, Fusion Audio with the HJ deejays and Linden’s own Farensik Sounds will provide all the musical entertainment along with the Mingles Band.

Apple, who was born in and grew up in Linden, believes that life begins at 40 and as Linden celebrates its 40th year as a town, he thought it best that “this year’s show be dedicated to the women of Linden and Guyana who have shown strength and comfort in the most trying of times”.

Ward Entertainment intends to continue supporting the development of Linden through promotional events and intends to expand its activities beyond the Linden Town Week celebration.
