Little did reggae star Richie Spice know when he departed the island last Thursday for a show in Bermuda that was billed to feature himself, Serani, Bugle and Konshens along with the Gumption Band and MC Richie B of HOT 102 FM that he would end up doing a full concert. The event was annually held Culture Shock Fest, this year's staging was dubbed 'The Next Generation' was originally scheduled to take place on Friday October 16th at the Somerset Cricket Club grounds in Somerset, Bermuda. However, the event had to be rescheduled for the next day because of the inclement weather conditions that affected the island of Bermuda on Friday.
Unfortunately, Serani, Bugle and Konshens had to leave Bermuda on Saturday as it was said that they all had other engagements to attend in Jamaica. However, Richie Spice decided to stay and do the show along with his younger brother Snatcha who wasn't originally billed for the show.
On Saturday night, an estimated crowd of two thousand patrons turned up at the venue to witness what turned out to be a musical treat, as Richie Spice delivered a masterful performance. He had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hands from start to finish as he delivered countless hits such as World Is A Cycle, Brown Skin, Di Plane Land, Earth A Run Red, Street Life, What A Day and Spice In Your Life in a performance that was over an hour long.
The show was opened by Snatcha who delivered a very good performance as he delivered songs such as Fight For My Cause, Love Boat and No War. As expected, all involved with Culture Shock Fest 'The Next Generation' were very pleased as Richie Spice saved the day with a show stopping performance.
Richie Spice's next overseas engagement will be at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam on October 31st where he will share the bill with the likes of dancehall music icon Shabba Ranks, Jah Cure, Tanya Stephens and Duane Stephenson.
