Duane Stephenson, who hit stage about 10:39, opened his performance with a beautiful song titled Love In The City, which instantly drew a positive response from the audience. He continued to rock the house with hits such as Real Ghetto Pain, Let Love Live, August Town, Give A Helping Hand and Little Cottage In Negril. At the end of his nearly hour long performance he earned a well deserved encore.
The closing act for the night Italian dancehall sensation Alborosie kept the momentum going with a high energy performance which had the audience in a very exciting mood, especially the Italian visitors in the audience. Alborosie bussed the place with hardcore dancehall and reggae tracks such as Blessings, Kingston Town, Is This love, Jamaica, Rastafari and Anthem. He also earned a well deserved encore.
Opening acts Jahvante and Vengeance gave good accounts of themselves. Dean Frazer who was not officially billed for the event delivered a brilliant performance that showed why he is revered as reggae’s greatest Saxophonist.
The headliner for next week’s concert which will be held on Tuesday January 21st 2010 will be reggae super star Richie Spice.
