Bridgetown, Barbados (May 30, 2009) - Alison Hinds Performance at the Jerk Festival, West Palm Beach Florida
On May 25, 2009, Alison Hinds was contracted to perform for the Jerk festival in West Palm, Florida. Alison and her band arrived in West Palm and stayed at the Marriot expecting to perform at 7pm on May 25th. She was at the Marriot Beach Hotel in her room waiting for the promoter to fulfill their contractual agreement.
The promoter, Damian Tatter, was supposed to come to the hotel with her balance of the $$$ due and transportation to the event. The promoter never showed up with the $$$ and after several calls by her manger to him he said that he could not come because of his onsite obligations and it did not make sense for her to perform since many people were leaving.
She was aware that many of her fans had come out to see her perform at the Jerk Festival despite weather conditions. When push came to shove, the show’s promoters never came up with the balance due and said that they could not pay her because of the bad weather conditions. To make matters worse, the promoters chose the cowardly way out and have attacked Alison Hinds’ credibility by saying that she was not there.
“I am deeply saddened that I did not have the opportunity to perform for my fans especially to those who stood out in the rain and waited for me. People need to know that I will not be taken advantage in such a way. I will keep everyone posted as to what becomes of this situation. "
