After the Morgan Heritage concert, Jah Cure’s show promises to be yet another great show of the year, as we continue to receive an overwhelming response from the fans and as the organisers, we are working hard to make sure that everything goes well,” he said.
“We are into showbiz because we have people (fans), who continuously support our works and for that cause, we cannot afford to disappoint them, hence, bringing their favourite singer, Jah Cure as an early Christmas present for them.”
