Jimmy Riley to Replace Max Romeo on Sunday –
We regret to inform you that Max Romeo will be
unable to perform at SNWMF 2010 due to visa
issues. While we are all disappointed by this
cancellation, we are pleased that Jimmy Riley
will be performing instead on Sunday evening.
Jimmy Riley was a founding member of The
Sensations along with Cornell Campbell. After
 several
successful releases in the mid sixties, Riley
joined Slim Smith and Lloyd Charmers in The
Uniques, who had huge hits wish songs such as
"Watch This Sound" and "My Conversation". When
The Uniques split up, Jimmy Riley went on to do
solo work including the 1980's U.K.
chart-topping remake of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual
Healing." His son, Tarrus Riley, followed him
into music, and the recent success of Tarrus has
given a boost to Jimmy Riley's career.

Things to Remember Before You Start Your Trip
Expect temperatures in the upper 70’s to lower 80’s during the day. Please be prepared for weather changes. Chilly winds can blow through the fairgrounds in the afternoon and the nights can get cold. Please bring warm clothes! Take care of yourself! Bring extra shade, sunscreen, a sunhat and a flashlight for night. Bring plenty of drinking water. Bottled water is available for purchase on site. Fill up on gas in Cloverdale or Ukiah before arriving at SNWMF, as fuel in Boonville is very limited, and always carry emergency equipment. The road to the festival is very curvy. Please be alert and drive slowly and carefully. Bring peace, love, musical vibes and
your tickets!!
