Think of any popular local artiste and you might see them perform live at Sunday’s One Island The Concert at the Queen’s Park Oval, Elizabeth Street, St Clair, from 1 pm to 1 am. Initiated by Errol Fabien, with assistance from No Laughing Matter, this Republic Day event will also feature artistes from across the Caribbean.
At a media conference held this week at Siam Lounge, Queen’s Park East this week Fabien explained that the benefit is being held to assist victims in Barbuda and Dominica following the devastation of hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Also committed to the effort is popular comedienne NikkiCrosby and she is expected tobe joined by a galaxy of over 150 stars. Other well known media and theatre personalities throwing their hat into the fund raising ring are Michelle Borel, Judith Laird, Cecilia Salazar, Penelope Spencer, Crazy Catholic, George Gonzalez, Tommy Joseph, Mr Q, Jase Villain and Hans Des Vignes.
The wider public is invitedbto come out and support this venture with a $50 contribution and a can of non-perishable foodstuff with an expiry date beyond 2018. For those who can afford more, you are welcome to bring items for babies and children, adult pampers, can openers, water and you can bring one item, two, a dozen or hampers.
To expedite the delivery of items, expected to fill a 40-foot container, Fabien and associates are coordinating with Antiguabased NGO Halo Foundation.
