Leaving the UK to live in Jamaica isn't exactly a 1-2-3 decision; you'd think...Luddy and Jan Samms decided to leave the UK and move to Negril Jamaica 12 years ago and never looked back. Luddy was born in Jamaica and grew up in the US. He eventually joined the US armed forces which somehow led him to a career as a Drifter, like the band: The Drifters. Jan was an educator in Scotland and through happenstance of booking a gig with the Drifters did Luddy and Jan meet. Together they eventually made their way to Jamaica and started the iconic Drifters Bar in Negril.
