| July | Jumping July Jazz |
| "It is a pity that so few got to experience Jazz in July, which featured headline act Cheryl Pepsii Riley, last weekend. Presented by Victory International and held at the Queen’s Hall, St Ann’s, on Saturday and Sunday nights, the show also featured the likes of Vaughnette Bigford, Glenda Collens, Theron Shaw, Dane Gulston, R’kardo St’von and Mungal Patasar. The empty seats in the large hall were hard to miss. But what the show lost in patrons it certainly made up for in performance." | |
