The Deliverers - Firemon - 11-30-2017
Looks like the owner of the Drifters Bar used to sing with a group called The Deliverers.
Check out that suit!
Luddy Samms and the Deliverers on RTBF's Cargo de Nuit, singing Keep What I Got. Featuring Bruce Knapp on guitar.
RE: The Deliverers - Westenders - 11-30-2017
Ive never been able to understand why people refer to him as part of the Drifters.
I've never found his name to be linked to any of the variations in line ups of the Drifters group / band . A google search links Luddy to the Drifters bar in Negril, and some jazz festivals online. Maybe I'm missing something.
Does anyone have any confirmations that he sang in the Drifters band as stated all over the negril boards . Old , new, original, etc...? Confusing ?

A Little Richard wanna be !!!! Nice voice !!! I've know Luddy for years and he never denied The Drifters to any one who asked . It's just a bar that you can have fun at .
RE: The Deliverers - Westenders - 12-01-2017
Ha ha ha, interesting.
Just an urban myth then, that is somewhat 'encouraged'.
Not a bad marketing point, although this place is not my cup of tea at all.
Went once, drinks were cheap
Music was what you would get in a working mans club over here, cover versions from decades gone by. Too dated for me.
Locals begging with sanction is a bit off putting, along with the bucket passing round for tips for the band.

Just a little disingenuous flim-flam like all the rastas who've told me they are Bob Marley's second cousin. "On The Boardwalk" is a cash cow.
