Lovindeer returns for Valentine’s gig
When it comes to Caribbean entertainers in Belize, we tend to regard them like fine wine: they just get better with age. News Five’s Jacqueline Woods today sampled the latest vintage.

It?s not the first time that Jamaican Reggae artist Lloyd Lovindeer has been to Belize, but we still treat each trip as if it?s the singer?s first visit to the country. Lovindeer is here to celebrate Love FM?s thirteenth anniversary and that special occasion known as St. Valentine?s Day.

?They say Valentine?s the time for lovers and I would like to think that my name Lovindeer has something to do with it. For Love FM and for Lovindeer it?s a special time of the year, so all the lovers and all who want to be lovers should be here for the show.?
Lovindeer will be part of a star-studded line up at a poolside on Saturday at the Princess Hotel. Love FM?s Brain Mossiah says it?s all part of the radio station?s gratitude to listeners for their support.

?We figured that at thirteen, with all the struggles that the media has been going through in Belize, and we don?t have to go through that, but all the struggles that the media has been going through in Belize, I think it?s sort of patting themselves on the back saying, we?ve come this far, we are proud of who we are, we want to share this with the Belizean people, and so this big party.?
Lloyd Lovindeer
?The people who are coming to this show, they are coming to hear the sounds that they already know. So I will be doing all the older songs and the songs that have made me popular here in Belize, plus we have some new stuff, which I am working on a new album, so they will be getting some stuff from that. So the regular stuff like Babylon Bups, No Bend Down, Panty Size, and Man Shortage, I?ll be doing all of those songs, but we have some new stuff I?m working on too.?
Jacqueline Woods reporting for News Five.
On Friday the other half of the show, Gregory Isaacs, will be arriving. Tickets are forty dollars in advance, but rise to fifty at noon on Saturday.
