Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation for the Enhancement and Enrichment of Life (FEEL), Clive Pantin, says his organisation will not accept any monetary contribution from Tri-Star Promotions, after this weekend?s concert at Queen?s Park Savannah.
By Michael MondezieIn a phone interview on Thursday, Pantin said Tri-Star had misrepresented FEEL in their advertising campaign, and wrongly labelled his organisation as a co-promoter of the event, which features Jamaican dancehall artistes Bounty Killer (Rodney Price) and Elephant Man (O?Neil Bryant).
He said he was concerned that FEEL could suffer liability for any mishap at the concert.
?We are not satisfied sufficient indication was made that we are not responsible for the event,? Pantin said.
He said the decision to disassociate itself from the concert had nothing to do with Price?s arrest, two months ago, during a performance at the same venue.
?We have no grouse with Bounty Killer. We are, however, concerned about the lack of security at the event,? he said.
Price was arrested and charged for using obscene language in August, at the Summerfest concert at the same venue.
He is scheduled to reappear before a Port-of-Spain magistrate today.
Pantin said he had attempted to secure extra security for the event from the T&T Regiment, but was informed by a senior officer that the army didn?t offer that kind of service.
?I can?t really blame them. I mean they don?t do that type of security, but I can?t endorse an event when I have doubts about safety,? he said.
