summons to stop a reggae concert planned for next Friday.

But first they will be sending a letter to Commissioner of Police Mr. Lennett (Lennie) Edwards asking for his intervention to prevent dancehall reggae star Mad Cobra, performing at Frog Lane Field.

Devonshire Colts soccer players are likely to face a hot reception when they canvass local residents about the concert, organised by Mr. Choy Aming. It is the second time this year that the Devonshire folk have been faced with a concert close to their homes.

The first, featuring international star Shabba Ranks, was eventually moved from the National Stadium to BAA Field, causing a storm of complaints from people living close to that venue.

Now, Mr. Aming has returned to Devonshire and his efforts have been supported by the soccer club who feel they can raise cash for their scholarship fund. He has also considered using the Clayhouse Inn, on North Shore Road, for the concert.

Frog Lane resident Mr. John Simmons said that local people were weary of complaining about concerts in the area.

"First of all there were concerts at Devonshire Rec. and they were stopped.

Then it was the National Stadium and that was cancelled. Now Choy Aming has come back and wants to use Frog Lane Field,'' said Mr. Simmons.

"We are going to write a letter to the Commissioner of Police on Monday asking for him to stop this. If that does not work we are willing to take out a summons against Choy Aming staging the concert.

"It is not fair. When Devonshire Rec. used to have shows we could not get into or out of our homes because of the cars parked here.

"At the BAA concert people said that the noise was so loud they could hear it in Spanish Point.

"All we are asking is to be left in peace in our homes, but once again we are faced with the prospect of hundreds of people drinking, taking drugs and fighting.'' Mr. Simmons said that Mr. Aming should take Mad Cobra to another venue in the Island. "He should go to the Clayhouse Inn or Number One Shed, that is a perfect venue for this type of event. Or he should go to a part of the Island where no-one lives, like Dockyard or one of the St. George's islands.'' Mr. Aming could not be contacted yesterday but he is believed to be seeking a new venue following complaints about the Shabba Ranks event.

And he is continuing to push Government to provide a purpose-built venue which would hold 1,500 people.
