Concepts will host its annual summer edition old school Reggae Party, One Blood XVI, at Smugglers, the courtyard of The Pirates Museum on George Street, coincidentally the site of the original event.

Doors for the event open at 9 pm. In keeping with the theme, an irie - red, gold and green – dress code is suggested.

The highly anticipated event continues to fill the niche for an enjoyable night out for the slightly older crowd filled with good vibes and nostalgia.

Music for the throwback reggae party will be provided by two of Nassau’s most skilled and versed deejays when it comes to old school reggae – Selector Ty and Selector 3D.

A treat for reggae lovers, old and young, the party aims to take party-goers on a trip down memory lane, as deejays bring back old school reggae tunes from the likes of Bob Marley, Freddie McGregor, Half Pint, Dennis Brown and Barrington Levy, just to name a few. 

Leah Davis, organiser of the event, explained that as a reggae lover, the initial intention was to host a party that she herself would like to attend.

The demand persisted and the events began to fill a gap in the entertainment market for the over 25 year old looking for a safe night out with good people and good vibes.

“I have been hosting old school reggae parties since 2004; the first ones were called A Reggae Flashback and were hosted at Pirates of Nassau.

The events have had several homes but regardless of the venue has consistently delivered a musical experience specifically for lovers of old school reggae and dub,” she said. She said the given the genre and era of the music, the event targets “a wide cross section of reggae lovers, young and young at heart.”

“This event is always a safe and ‘irie’ experience that my patrons have grown accustomed to and look forward to twice annually. It will be a fun musical experience where guests will hear songs they have not heard since way back when, laugh and dance the night away.”
