Soca artiste Jumo Primo on Friday last launched the reopening of the former Weddy Weddy Night Club, now called 592 Spot and geared to promote live performances by local artistes and entertainment from local disc jockeys.
“I’ve seen a lot of clubs going up in Guyana at different places. I say, man look if we change this thing seeing that I’m entertainment and I’m one of the leading artiste in the country and I have my own brand, it has to be something different, and better than it was before,” Jumo said in a statement.
The singer said it was high time someone catered for local artistes, whether they have already created a name for themselves or were now aspiring to do so. Many clubs in Guyana, he added may have one night for such entertainment. 592 Spot, which is located at the corners of John and Norton Streets, Werk-en-Rust, has been designed for those who need a relaxing afternoon after work, while at night it offers a party atmosphere. Weddy Weddy Wednesday still remains a night to look forward to and there will be Banks Thursdays, Guinness Fridays, Ladies’ Night on Saturdays and Marvelous Sundays.
There will be security at the entrance that ensures no person enters with a weapon. The presence of security will ensure that fun is had in an orderly environment and it is a smoke-free atmosphere. Smoking must be done outside the premises.
A 592 Grill is expected to be added soon. The club is designed to cater for 250 patrons. It also has a VIP seating section. The grill will be the only other seating area.
There will be taxis readily available for anyone who drinks and does not have a designated driver.
Jumo shared that entertainment doesn’t just mean music, and there are nights that will be designated for standup comedy with some of Guyana’s finest comedians. “I am promoting everything 592. We’re for all of Guyana, whether you be from Berbice, Essequibo or Linden. People have been calling already to use the spot for their videos. I want to take [entertainment in Guyana] on a different level,” he said.
The club will be opened from between 4 pm to 6 pm, except on Mondays and Tuesdays when it will be open all day.
The first owners were Jumo’s parents, Morris and Anita Primo for almost 20 years. For 7 years, it was run by his brother Orlando Primo.
592 Spot will soon have a Facebook page, Instagram and YouTube where patrons can connect and find out more about scheduled events.
