Patrons who turned out for Igloo last Sunday at Sugarman's Beach in Portmore were in for a surprise, after what appeared to be a night destined for lasting fun ended abruptly, due to inclement weather conditions.

THE STAR arrived at the venue at approximately 8 p.m. during the musical stint of Disc jockeys Mark Chin and Alpachino from Coppershot. The vibe was already at a semi climax as Elephant Man's Nuh Linga and Assassin's Dem Guy Deh had the massive crowd roaring in approval.

The musical genre was later switched to Hip Hop, and Dj Khaled's All I do is Win had hands and water bottles waving in the air.

At 9 p.m., the vibe was still intact, as patrons danced up a storm to Ding Dong's Holiday and Dj Liquid's Matie Stan Up.

However, when Richie Ras took over the turntables, he immediately encountered technical difficulties and the session had to be halted to fix the problem. The party would soon return to full swing, Richie Ras delivering an onslaught of 90s dancehall music, from the likes of Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks, much to the delight of the crowd.

The party had been going well, but at around 10 p.m., amidst all the fun and drama, the rains came down without warning, soaking patrons and the sound equipment, causing them to turn off the music.

With no music to keep the vibe going, the once happy patrons scampered to occupy the small area that provided covering for the selectors.

The situation became chaotic for one female patron who yelled: "Wey mi purse?" And a male patron replied: "from night yuh a dance wid man and have the heart fi a come ask mi fi purse, yuh nuh easy!"

Needless to say, while some patrons enjoyed the argument, many decided to head for the exit, by then most persons were soaking wet.
