Dancehall Mavado's birthday event cancelled, permit revoked

DEEJAY Mavado has taken the decision to cancel this year's staging of the LIME Real McKoy event. A statement from the deejay states, "We received a police permit on October 20 for the original venue, Coruba Beach Club, but were shocked to receive another letter from the same branch of the JCF revoking that permit just last week." The release went on to state that Mavado has taken a huge financial loss in this endeavour as the promotion team did not spend a dollar until the police permit was in place.It is further understood that since Mavado received the letter of refusal, at least three events have been held at that same venue. The deejay states that while his team is not surprised that their event has been targeted, "It's still a bitter pill" . The statement continues that while alternative venues were sought, the logistics were just too much to take on at the last minute, therefore the decision was taken to pull the plug on the event for 2010. Mavado says he is aware that there are many disappointed fans who had planned to attend, and the deejay says he shares their disappointment.
