After 19 successful years in Manchester and St Elizabeth, reggaesingjay Tony Rebel's annual birthday bash, Rebel Salute, has found a new home. A billboard at the spacious Richmond Estate in Priory, St Ann, has announced that Rebel Salute, considered the island's leading conscious reggae showcase, will be held at that venue on January 18 and 19, 2013. The event will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2013 and from its first staging in Brook's Park, Mandeville in 1994, and after it was shifted to Port Kaiser Sports Complex in St Elizabeth, the Patrick 'Tony Rebel' Bailey/Flames Production event has served up the best in conscious, positive reggae music. Rebel Salute has the reputation of being a drug-free, violence-free, alcohol-free and meat-free, family-oriented event and has attracted thousands of patrons each year. Great venue Richmond Estate opened as a show venue after the turn of the century and has been home to many memorable events since then. It is considered one of the best outdoor show venues on the island. Some of the events hosted there in the past include the last staging of Reggae Sunsplash, Jamaica Curry Festival, Jamaica International Kite Festival and Usain Bolt's 9.58 Party. http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315369#msg-315369 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:16:37 -0700 Phorum 5.2.15a http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,319796#msg-319796 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,319796#msg-319796 Diesel SNWMF Phorum 2013 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:27:27 -0800 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315660#msg-315660 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315660#msg-315660
Will have to see what the new location brings. St ann is easier to get to (especially for those of us who use the bus or ride with friends), but is nowhere near as nice as st elizabeth. For those coming from town I believe this means we'll have to go through ochi, which I'm not so happy about as I believe that's really the worst town in jamaica.

Still looking forward to the show though, especially after missing the last 2 stagings]]> Ras James SNWMF Phorum 2013 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:25:06 -0700 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315659#msg-315659 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315659#msg-315659

Given the scale of JA physically Bev, I bet Tony & crew will make sure that vibe continues on the North Coast also, No Worries there...]]> papa ray SNWMF Phorum 2013 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 07:20:04 -0700 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315580#msg-315580 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,315369,315580#msg-315580
I am wondering how others feel that this change of venue will impact the vibes of Rebel Salute. I have my thoughts but would love to hear from others.

Great venue

Richmond Estate opened as a show venue after the turn of the century and has been home to many memorable events since then. It is considered one of the best outdoor show venues on the island.
