Several international artistes are expected in Linden early next month for the Ward Entertainment ‘All White Ladies Night’ party which will be part of the activities planned for the mining town’s 40th anniversary as a township.
In a press release it was stated that anniversary celebration will be held between April 25 and May 3 and the party, which will only feature female artistes, will be held on May 2 at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground from 9 pm.
The all-white affair will feature Jamaican dancehall diva, Macka Diamond known for her hits “Robbery”, “Money-O” and “Bun Him” among several others. 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 Digicel Jamaica talent show Rising Stars, young Princess Tia who is enjoying a fast rise in the Caribbean music industry.
On the Guyana front Timeka Marshall, who is also billed for the Barbados reggae festival, will be in stage.
According to show promoter Ryan Apple the party 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,” the press release said adding that “it will be a sea of glowing lights and whites.”
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.
