DevO Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hey all! I was checking out Pollstar to see who`s playing in Montreal this Saturday as thats where I`ll be, and I noticed that Barrington Levy is playing at an event called Jamaican Day Festival.. In typical reggae show fashion, I can`t find any info at all on this festival! Can anyone help me out? Whats the website addresses for the big Montreal weekly rags?

Guest Low Roller Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I don't think that Montréal has an online rag. I've been looking for one for the longest time, but it seems that the majority of events in Montréal are spread through word of mouth and papers.

Guest Low Roller Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Glad that I was wrong. It made no sense that Montréal had no online presence for cultural events. Thanks for links folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
