Veteran reggae artiste, Junior Reid, says family is at the heart of his new One Blood Family Fest.
 
The festival will be held on June 3 at Plantation Cove in St Ann coincides with Juniors 60th birthday. 

“This is a day-and-night affair, and it’s going to be a great event.

I am trying to bring back the family in music, we need those bonds, that’s not how we used to live, and I love the youths, we have to show them the right way, the live band is the thing, family is the thing. All the people on the show are like my family, they are my blood, my One Blood family, and this event is showing that we stand for the same thing, and that love is still there in the business,” Junior Reid said.

Fred Locks, Cedric Myton (of The Congos), Winston McAnuff, Sister Carol, Sizzla, Stephen Marley, Julian Marley, Jahmiel, I Wayne, Turbulence, Warrior King, Kiddus-I, Big Youth, Louie Culture, Chezidek and man of the moment, Junior Reid, are all scheduled to perform.
