Junior Gong

Good to see a solid turnout to Damian Marley last night. A real cross-section of culture, from the older Rasta contingent through to Punks, HipHop heads and young gals bubblin' to the faster ones.
Marley's strength was playing to the fact that he crosses between his own material and his late fathers, instantly hooking in a wider audience than most artists could possibly hope for.
While enjoying the night I would have liked to hear more from Welcome to Jamrock, it seemed like the strength of the album as a whole may have been underestimated. Although, there was a pretty solid, well thought out balance between Jr. Gongs' tracks and the classic reggae material keeping all happy.
All in all, damn fine to see this calibre of artist down here.
