The next staging of Stardom Tent will be not be held at the Reigate Downtown, or Sisserou Hotel, as that venue is more popularly known.
Stardom Management has taken a decision to to move the event from Sisserou to the Harlem Plaza, as of next week.
Stardom Tent promoter, Leroy Wadix Charles, told DNO that Stardom’s decision stems from a problem that has been brewing since last year whereby the proprietors of the Sisserou have been breaching certain aspects of their agreement with Stardom Tent concerning their two main sponsors, Kubuli and Redcap Rum.
“When we go out and the seek sponsorship, we sign various agreements with the sponsors and in particular those two. We told them that their drinks will be exclusively sold and that is the reason and so they themselves giving us the sums of cash that they have given us,” Charles stated.
Charles says the owners of Sisserou Hotel agreed to that arrangement. However, he says unknowing to Stardom Tent, hotel management have not been honouring the agreement and as a result, their sponsors have threatened to pull their sponsorship if the matter was not resolved.
“So last evening again we made a final plea to the owners of the place that we needed to solve this problem; let us see how we can solve this and they were very disrespectful to us and they actually told me in person that nobody will tell them which drinks to sell in their bar,” he noted.
Charles says the matter was discussed at a Stardom management meeting last night and the decision was taken to move to another venue so as not to lose their sponsors.
“So all our equipment, the branding, the stage that was set up to accommodate the activity was broken down last evening and we are now heading to the Harlem Plaza for this week’s edition of Stardom Tent,” Charles remarked.
According to Charles, the next two Stardom Tents will be held at Harlem Plaza while Carnival City will be the venue for the Monarch of the Tent which si Stardom’s final event for the season.
He says with sponsors threatening to pull out, Stardom had no choice but to find another venue.
Charles admits that the move from Sisserou Hotel could have some effect on Stardom Tent’s patronage.
“There may be,” he says. “Because Sisserou is home of the tent, people love the Sisserou Hotel.I can tell you now I actually love the Sisserou, the setting, the ambiance. It gives you a nice feeling when you are in there and I would have preferred to run a tent at the Sisserou Hotel but there’s a certain lack of respect that an organization cannot go through.”
All you dominicans not easy eh. All you lambase Mass Camp for leaving harlem plaza,now all you bigging up stardom for leaving sisserou for the same reasons.
Debbie Reggie come let me hug allyuu. Tell Stardom take a long walk on a short bridge. can Stardom ever pay you properly for the rental of your hotel premises?? eh eh eh. tell wadiz jump in a lake eh garcon. yu made your kuntrak with your colonial slave masters to control you, not Debbie at HER hotel. babyeee. then Stradom pay de hotel owners the loss of earnings and business pay the hotel properly with the measely fee you giving Debbie magway sahhh
Charles I back you 100% you are totally right. Why
not support you sponsors.
Good Move Stardom…teach them ppl a lesson…now they have nothing…well except for the pro+#@@@@ and gambling….see wat greed and disrespect brings….hope they took their drinks on consignment…LMAO
Harlem we going.. its just fine..
I agree and i will come out next week wednesday at harlem.what about two kubuli for $5.00 and two red cap for $5.00 at the tent.The double bubble from lime.what lime trying.promoter wadix step up brother
That is why we must not criticize each other too much when one makes a move forward, sometimes the circumstances make it so, as it is in this scenario….I cannot see why the Managemant of the Hotel cannot keep the contract You get business for your place be glad…Hospitality service covers everything…Harlem will be fine…
Whiskey selling for more money and is that people were calling for, not red cap and kubuli.
Hi, I can’t see how Mr Charles can sign a contract with his two sponsors documenting that only their beer will be sold at the bar if he do not control the bar. The hotel management did not sign a contract with his sponsors. This contract is only valid if the tent had a separate bar at the hotel. Anyway am coming home for carnival so please get thing together because I want to have a good time. Harlem Plaza is a nice location for this type of event.
Your comment makes no sense. If Stardom entered an agreement with its sponsors that only their product would be sold and Stardom’s agreement with the owners of Sisserou was that they would only sell the products of Stardoms sponsors that is a proper agreement. If the owners of the place agreed to only sell the products of stardom’s sponsors they have to do just that.
Hi, Sisserou Hotel is a corporation therefore Mr Charles cannot sign a contract on their behalf . He can only sign such contract with his sponsors if he controlled the bar. Most of the money at such events are made at the bar therefore the hotel is not going to give up the bar. I can guarantee that Mr Charles cannot show where the manager of the hotel sign his contract giving him such rights to the bar or such guarantee to his sponsors. Maybe Mr Charles wrote the contract himself and he don’t understand contractual law therefore his contract was not legally sound. You are talking about agreement but I am talking about a legali binding document. Anyway let us all have a safe carnival so we can enjoy ourselves .
For those of you who thought Mass Camp was not telling the truth here comes Stardom with the same issue,so i want to hear what all you have to say now. These venue owners dont respect sponsors and they have to be taught a lesson. They will have the same problem at harlem plaza if the owner is given the bar to run just wait and see.
Come to think of it.. it was a good move that Mas Camp moved or else the possibility of getting the venue or another suitable venue would be chaotic.
Dominicans have no respect for contracts. Why does everyone in this country thinks that they are above the law?
well i`m telling u dominica is really sweet country.in america u breach a contract u get sued.dominica u walk away.i agree with u wadix
you see anybody can move, not only mass camp as a matter of fact mass camp give pace tardm tent by Harlem Plaza.
Now that’s how you do business! Way to go Stardom!
It’s a Lose lose situation. I find it hard to believe that these big men could not solve their differences in a more businesslike manner. Too much ego on both sides!
DNO how come you dont have the story of the drug bust on a vessel from SXM
I doh care where go, I doh care where we sing, I doh care who sing, I am jus coming for the rum and the party.
Here goes Deb. Never see come see we are told? You mean two experienced business people cannot understand what it is to have a contract and sponsorship agreements? Now that the tent has moved, I would like to see them go ahead and bring the crowds to the Sisserou to sell any and wahtever drinks he wants in his place. Let us see him do just that.
Itz time more management teams make these sorts of decisions; so as to teach some arrogant people that there are implications for not complying with contractual terms…this could have resulted in the tent being sued as it received sponsorship on the basis that there would be exclusiveness…. Calypso is Calypso so the fans will follow….Now who lose out?
Let Mr. stew in his own juice. Has always been contrary. Sisserou’s loss will be the Plaza’s gain. You see how things work themselves out for the best? Bobby will make you all welcome, I’m sure.
they need to understand if that was another country they would not beable to do that, only in dominica
only in dominica,greddy business people.country will never move forward with these idiots.
And all you think going harlem plaza will solve the problem? Bobby is just as bad just wait and see. Mass Camp had the same issues at the plaza. Good Luck!
Great! Now I don’t have to pay bus to go right over there. I can just walk. Bravo!
that is where they should go in the first place the price for the rent was good and they were offer the bars like where they were the bar was not their
Is Calypso, so where ever the tents go, calypso lovers will follow.
Yeah, you guy’s need to sweat.You dont want to sweat, then pay them there money they asked for where there drink’s are not being sold and have a great time at the place you guys love,the Sisserou Hotel !! buisness is buisness !!
Well me myself calyspo is my thing so wherever it go I will follow
You see the problem with people short term greed and foolishness.
A band pays rent to have an event at your venue and you have agreed to negotiated terms and conditions for the staging of that event then you dishonor the agreement.
I hope the imported drinks company pays you for loss of revenue for the next few weeks and years to come.
Some business people have a hard time understanding agreements and market branding.
They just palin stupid. lost all for all.
i Agree Entirely with the tent Management if they are Breaching the agreement as Communicated to them then hey why not Pack and leave am all for it now both Tents are in The Capital

i got the message! Did you? SMD
Unless you are wadix you cannot say how it should read.,there are quotation marks for a reason. Stop criticizing dno for no reason
Scotland, it’s a quote from wadix. How you want DNO to re-word the man quote. You not easy. Where did you learn your English?
*decision…there we go!
Mr Leroy Wadix Charles, respect to and for sponsorship is the right move….
Well look drama in that tent business. I think all of this is because the season was just too short and people did not really have time to prepare after christmas.
There is no lack of respect, you cannot come in my house and tell me what to do,take your money and go somewhere else, good luck !!
My friend ,
This is two completely different scenarios. A contract is a contract.. if breached the other party have all the right to make a decision where to stay in it or not
My freind,
This is 2 completely different scenarios.A contract is a contract. You breach it , you pave a path way for the other party to make a exiting decison
*friend *an exiting
You making me laugh because of your stupidity. I thought all stupid people were in Stupidiville, but I was wrong.
Faceup, this is not your house or residence! it’s a place of business and contracts were signed. Clearly the terms and agreements of this contract was breached and you can’t be “wrong and strong”
Guess you do not understand what a contract is.
and thats exactly what they did. I hope you dont miss their money, cuz it seems business seems to be bright on your side
My god, you talking like the owner was not being paid for the use of the facility. wake up friend and come to your senses and stop making useless comments
Which is why the Reigate Hall Hotel closed down too – they have no idea of the concept – putting the customer first…..the hospitality business is all about personality and the right attitude.
Eh Eh a hundred and one dislikes, never seen that on DNO before, ehbey look story !!
I think you dislikes are Out of ORDER !!
I think Harlem will work just fine.
yeppers!
