George Nooks is arguably one of the few artist in the Jamaica music industry that can comfortably work in both the secular and gospel genres, while receiving support from fans unique to each classification.

“He’ll Do It Again” can be streamed and downloaded via iTunes.

Earlier today, Jamlink International, the organization behind the annual Aarhus Reggae Festival, informed us that this year’s staging is officially cancelled! This is as a result of the global uncertainty caused by the spread of the novel corona virus. Furthermore, the government of Denmark will not permit any massive gathering for the remainder of 2020.
The Aarhus Reggae Festival, which started in 2014, has become one of the city’s most anticipated reggae event. Past productions featured top-tier international reggae and dancehall acts, such as: Leroy Gibbon, Courtney Melody, Queen Omega, Macka B, Karamanti, Perfect Giddimani, Omar Perry, Natty King, Bunny General, King Kong, Super Black and so much more.
The event is produced each year under the leadership of Henzel Clarke (the chairman of Jamlink Intl.), with support from Voxhall, Maria Jackson and Aarhus Kommune. We are all looking forward to bringing this amazing event back in 2021.
