Shaggy & Friends

Saturday, January 7 saw the staging of the third Shaggy and Friends, the benefit concert hosted in aid of the Bustamante Hospital for Children. A well-orchestrated and executed event, the concert saw performances from artistes such as Tami Chynn, Tarrus Riley, Grammy Award winner Deniece Williams, rapper Eve, Beres Hammond and Lauryn Hill - who, despite some pauses, closed the concert.

Here are some highlights.
