Star Track Album

Seen 'N' HeardHEARD…It wasn’t the best of opening

nights. In fact, many would refer to it asa total disaster.

The crowd wasn’t there, the hostsweren’t around, and the entire setup wasvery ordinary.

They are now back to square one andneed to make drastic changes before theycould ever think of going operational –again!

Rajiv & The Clan in concert,

which was scheduled to be

held on July 26th, at Nelum

Pokuna, has been postponed –

indefinitely.

Says Rajiv: “We have decided

to indefinitely postpone our

anniversary concert due to the

political situation prevailing in the

country.”

However, he did mention that

we would be notified once a new

date is confirmed.

Another event that has been

postponed is the DJ Hanna one-

of-a-kind party experience which

was fixed for July 25th, at the CR

& FC Grounds.

They say this event has been

postponed due to a government

directive, and is likely to take

place sometime in

August/September.
