MORGAN HERITAGE will not be performing in Trinidad on November 7, according to the band’s frontline vocalist, Peter Morgan — known within the band by his alias, Jah Petes.

In a concert carded for Guaracara Park, South Trinidad, Morgan Heritage along with Jah Cure had been promoted as the featured reggae outfits.

However, according to Morgan, his services as a solo artiste were initially contracted for the event.

In this latest development however, Morgan in a bid to maintain his integrity as an artiste and that of the band that he represents, has decided to remove himself from the concert, which he says is being falsely advertised.

“The music of Morgan Heritage has been used in the ad. There was no mention of Peter Morgan as the artiste coming to Trinidad — only Morgan Heritage. Morgan Heritage is not coming to Trinidad and now, neither is Peter Morgan as a solo artiste,” he confirmed.

While the band has already been booked for a concert to be held here during the Easter weekend next year, Morgan, along with his fellow band-mates, Gramps, Lukes, Una and Mr Mojo are adamant that Morgan Heritage the band, will not be in Trinidad on November 7.

The act as a unit maintains that there were no contractual agreements made with any promoter in Trinidad and Tobago (TT) for the said date.

To this end, Morgan has assured that all financial deposits have been made available to the promoter of the November 7 concert.
