The Giddy Hall Class of 89 Reunion will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at the Whitehall Sports Complex in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. This is a family event that will have bounce-a-bout for kids, six side football matches, and a live reggae concert. Confirmed performers are reggae-dancehall artist Sugar Bear, Barbadian singer and songwriter Rayvon (known for his work with Shaggy), and international recording artist Terry Linen.

Linen is currently promoting his latest single – Playing Money Games – which was released last year by Tad’s Record Inc. On the track he talks about the contentious subject of women dating men for money, while making it clear where he stands on the matter. The record was shared in early May and the official video followed months later, in September.

It is expected that Terry Linen will perform the aforementioned song, along with his other hits – Couldn’t Be The Girl For Me, Jah Jah You Save Me, Your Love Is My Love etc. – at the upcoming reunion. The show will also feature Ruffcut International, Tripple T Sound and other respected selectors and sound-systems.
