A Grand Opening

Local reggae promoter Packy Malley has big plans for the Slovenian Workman’s Home located near the Beachland Ballroom. Rechristened Packy Malley’s Bar, the new space celebrates its grand opening on tonight and tomorrow night. Carlos Jones & the PLUS Band and the Ark Band will perform at 6:30 tonight. Admission will be $10. The Jim Lasko psychedelic light show will set up that night too, and Jamaican food will also be available in the ballroom. St. Lucian steel drummer Deighton Charlemagne will perform in the bar. That show starts at 7 p.m. and admission to it is free. Tomorrow night, DJ MICK (formally Mick Boogie) will fly in from New York to man the wheels of steel. (Niesel)
