Dancehall.Mobi special update – its been just over three months since the foundation dancehall music producer / Silver Hawk sound system owner – Wycliffe ‘Steely’ Johnson – passed away, and what was to have been Steely’s next big project will soon be a reality. That is, the return of his legendary Silverhawk sound system, which ruled the sound clash roost from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.

Plans are afoot for a ‘Tribute to Steely’ 2010 Silverhawk tour, and the crew will likely include past selector Richard Reid (Richie Poo), Evert Palmer (Road Manager), Luciana Maneri (Steely’s Manager) and Cleveland “Clevie” Browne.

When asked if it will be the same without Steely, the management team stated “Never! But we will try our best to live up to his ingenuity and the expectations of loyal Silverhawk fans.” Expect the ‘Tribute to Steely’ tour to kick off in early 2010, with previews in selected regions. The tour will include dates in the United States, Canada, Japan, UK, Europe, Africa, Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean. It’s the return of Silverhawk sound; ‘THE HAWK’ will fly again.
