I've posted this in a couple of places so people can find it. Please try and help a legend in the dancehall business....



Greetings one and all, we got the disturbing news that Jah Stitch the legendary DJ from Tippertone & Black Harmony and selector for Youth Promotion has to have a heart operation in a couple of weeks and that he is having trouble paying for his medication which he needs to stay alive.
We have teamed up with Beth Lesser, photographer & writer to try and help him.
Beth has opened a paypal account for donations and we have done a special over at WCTD where we have upped 3 Promotion sessions that we have not posted before. All you need to do to get the sessions is donate to the fund.
Once your donation is recieved Beth will send you the links.
ALL donations will go directly to Jah Stitch for his medication.

These are the sessions you will get for the donation:

Many thanks for your time & help

i hope eveyone supports this. I'll put out a message to all members

Yes, it would be nice for as many to get involved as possible, especially those members who have had lots of free downloads from here

PEACE

exactly my thinking. we have 500 members. imagine if everyone put in just £5. even in these hard times I would think everyone could find 5 or ten pounds for Jah Stitch and for people who have rinsed this site and shared nothing it'd be good value! I'll try and say that politely in the newsletter

Nice one mate...............

well done to all who have donted to this worthy cause. Beth e mailed me yesterday and told me she has been overwhelmed by the support given! so that's great
