Spice Launches 8 Ball
July 6, 2010
A number of popular entertainers and hosts of fans turned out to the launch of Spice's new bar/ lounge called "8 Ball" on Friday 26th June.
The budding entrepreneur, who is also owner of other enterprises including Spicey Couture (Mall Plaza, Kingston) and Spicey Salon (Clock Tower Plaza, Kingston), uses this venture as a means to give back to her community. Based in her hometown Portmore, 8 Ball caters to young people with nothing to do and no where to go.
Spice, whose correct name is Grace Hamilton stated, "It's for young people like myself who want somewhere free to go and lyme and play pool, party at the club in the back and have fun. In Portmore there's barely anything to do, you always find yourself going to Kingston just for a lyme, so we are gonna be having quite a few promotions there to make sure Friday night is a lot of fun for everyone." ........"I was really happy and thankful for all the support I received and all the artists, fans, family and friends who came out. Thank you all so much."
The launch which was originally scheduled to take place earlier had been postponed as a result of persistent rain. It took place at it's swanky location at the Bayside Plaza, above Genus Pharmacy, Portmore. Among those in attendance were Bounty Killer, Future Fambo, Flexx, Bling Dawg, Bridgez, Keiva, Psycho Tan Bad, Pamputtae, Chuck Fender, Duwayne Stephenson, New Kidz, Baby Tash, Swizzle Body Girls, television host, Amita and more. Fans and patrons flooded the lounge and crowded the external passageway in order to party with some of their favourite entertainers.
Following the launch, Spice traveled to Ocho Rios on Saturday for the Ochi Invasion concert which also featured Mavado, Stacious, ZJ Ice and others. |
