Straight 'shellings' at Sharkies

Agent Sasco gave a creditable performance as he had the crowd clamouring for more at the second annual Sharkies Seafood Festival, held recently in Salem, Runaway Bay, St Ann.

Agent Sasco, otherwise called 'Assassin', drew on his experience and vocal and lyrical abilities to please a massive crowd at the venue.

He had the ladies screaming, and the men 'bussing a blank', as he took them through a slew of hits, including Fade Away, Winning Right Now, Hand Inna Di Air, Step Pon Dem and Idiot Ting.

Also giving memorable performances were Big Ship guru Freddie McGregor, who took his fans down memory lane.

Tanto Blacks was his usual energetic self, and he came rushing on to the stage with a 'bag of antics' that aroused the interest of the crowd. The stint on stage was rather comical, but of great entertainment value.

Tommy Lee Sparta, who closed the show, was a crowd favourite. The Sparta Boss had his audience cheering with his every utterance.

There were also performances from St Ann-based acts like Shakespeare and Proverbs.

Meanwhile, promoter of the event, Alwyn Brown, was pleased with the event.

"This is a great day in Salem, Runaway, as Sharkies Seafood Festival was a success with a huge crowd and a great stage show. I was satisfied with the overall production patrons were pleased, and the event was profitable."
