Buccaneer

"The little disagreement we had is over now and we have just let bygones be bygones," Buccaneer said. The rift arose when Bounty Killer did the song Warlord for Buccaneer's Opera House label, then re-recorded it for his Next Millennium eliminating any possible financial remuneration for Buccaneer.

The show is set for the Kolony Club, Constant Spring Road, Kingston on Friday, July 28 at 9:00 p.m.. It will feature Fire Links, Tony Matterhorn, Stone Love and Renaissance.
