Former Digicel Rising Stars champs One Third survived a two-valium, white-knuckle flight on Cessna 208 as they headed to the islands of Turks Caicos for two Valentine-themed performances last week.
By all accounts, the shows were a smashing success.
"The first show in Providentiales was a red and white affair. There was a mixture of races in the audience, the location is a tourist mecca, so there were whites mingling with the natives, and they loved it. We performed for an hour to a whole heap of screams and at the end, they will wanted an encore. One girl exclaimed that during the performance, she came, we don't know how true that is," manager Ray Alexander said.
"The second show was in Grand Turks, several miles away, and it was a larger turnout, with a high concentration of women. Before the show, the promoter called us in a frenzy, he was overly excited about the response. Anyway, we performed the same set we did in Providentiales and it went well, we left them asking for more, they are spending some other dates in the country and they want us to be a part of it," Mr. Alexander told MZJAEntertainment.com.
One Third also showed up at Macka Diamond's show after the first performance on Thursday night, and earned three forwards for the Garrison Anthem a current single that is blowing up all over local FM radio.
