On Saturday Flourgon shared the stage with fellow icons Sanchez and Daddy Lizard. The deejay did not disappoint, taking fans down memory lane with hits such as; Run Gal Run, Agony, Ole Time Dancing, and We Run Things.

According to the deejay, he has been getting more calls from promoters ever since his legal victory. The deejay would go on to admit that the lawsuit has changed his fortunes in more ways than one.

“I start do more show, because a lot of people are reviewing the work that I have done, and mi nah tell nuh lie, it really open it up. And I am pushing the energy so that people can see it. Mi tek mi thing serious. I make sure mi go to rehearsals and because that is very important, and it paying off.
