"COVID-19 cannot stop us. Dolphin house entertainment will keep doing it's best to ensure the entertainment industry doesn't suffer needlessly this year, as a result of the is pandemic. We will make sure in everything we do, do will adhere strictly to the safety protocols," he assured.

“Everyone loves a good party so we as event organisers and planners will not let COVID-19intimidate us anymore.

"We will go ahead and hold events while considering the safety of the populace too. We must survive and the musicians who grace our programmes too must survive. This pandemic cannot steal our glory,”

While speaking on the downtowns in the number of events held in the country due to the pandemic, he noted that situations like selling limited tickets to encourage social distancing caused his outfit a major loss.

He added that despite the low number of tickets that were sold, part of the monies were also used to buy sanitisers, veronica buckets and other items needed to be used by patrons of the events his outfit organised to ensure the COVID-19 protocols were observed.

“It is possible to make huge sums of money via social media and that is what we will also not ignore. We put the interest of our fans first so whether lockdown or no lockdown, nothing will prevent us from following our plans for the year,” Mr Adjei said.

He further touched on the need for more support from the government through the Ghana Tourism Authority.

According to him, this is not the time for authorities to prevent certain persons from holding their events, adding that he was saddened by the turn out of events when the movie of multiple award-winning actress and filmmaker, Kafui Danku’s movie titled ‘Freedom and Justice’ was stopped from being premiered last month after tickets had been sold.
