Own a piece of Guinness history - Arthur Guinness concert now on DVD

April 8, 2011

The unforgettable experience at the Arthur Guinness Celebration has been captured on DVD for consumers, and Guinness will be giving away free copies.

The 90-minute DVD of the one-night mega concert held last October at the National Stadium in St Andrew excellently captures all the elements that came together to make the event great and will remind patrons what to expect at the second staging later this year.

Event of the year

The Arthur Guinness Celebration has been recognised as the event of the year and for having the best performance of the year, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer's combined performance.

The concert was part of a global campaign marking Arthur's Day. Jamaica's concert was considered one of the best executed and drew the largest audience.

The DVD features performances by Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Mavado, Lady Saw, the Big Ship Family and Shaggy, who called the Arthur Guinness Celebration one of the best local productions ever.

Patrons will be able to get their hands on one of the DVDs by purchase a six-pack of Guinness in any participating supermarket or retail store, while stock lasts, or log on to www.facebook.com/GuinnessCaribbean for a chance to win.

Patrons attending Guinnesss-sponsored Happy Thursdays also have a chance of nabbing the hot commodity.

The exclusive Arthur Guinness Concert production was shot by Phase Three Production and features concert performances, behind-the-scenes highlights, interviews as well as production and fan reaction the overwhelmingly successful concert.

The entire production was shot in HD using 10 cameras including aerial panoramic shots, crowd-pleasing performances and audience-interaction shots. The 90-minute special was edited by Michael Cushnie and is expected to hit stores next week.
