At Saturday’s of thanksgiving for singer Paul ‘Frankie Paul’ Blake, Minister of Culture, Entertainment, Sport and Gender Affairs Olvia Grange was at one point hopping mad.
“A farewell service is the celebration of an artiste, the life of a musician or writer or composer. But in most instances it’s not that I am sad about the passing of a great artistes but it is sad that individually their lives are so disorganised. I do not want to come back to another service and say get your act together.” She told the musicians in particular and the congregation in general at the Olson Memorial Church of God, Hope Road, St Andrew,
She further implored artistes to plan ahead for their inevitable departure and out aside some money each time they work. Grange also had some words for the family members of some deceased artistes. She said they should stop asking for money and instead press their relatives to organise themselves and not leave financial problems when they go.
