The tragic events in Jamaica have been on all our minds, and legendary UB40 singer Ali Campbell has united some fellow legends to raise money for the island. All proceeds for Hurricane Melissa recovery in Jamaica

Hurricane Melissa battered Jamaica on October 28th, leaving not just 32 dead, but wrecking infrastructure, even now leaving much of the island without water, electricity, and the basic necessities. The Jamaican Prime Minister has reported that the hurricane caused damage equivalent to a third of the country’s GDP. 12,000 homes have been flooded.

Several high-profile artists with long-held associations and a love of Jamaica and its music will perform at London’s Koko on November 13th, with all proceeds going to Hurricane relief. They include Ali Campbell, Boy George, Lovers Rock star Carroll Thompson, Janet Kay, legendary DJ David Rodigan, and a host of others who have come together to offer their services free of charge for this very special cause. The night will be hosted by comedians Chris Savage and Kane Brown, and by emcee and artist Big Narstie.

The concert is being organised by promoter Rob Hallett.

The Honorable Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange OJ, CD, MP, Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, says, “I am extremely moved by the outpouring of goodwill towards Jamaica in this moment of great need. On behalf of the Government and people of Jamaica, we are deeply appreciative of this very kind gesture by Rob Hallett and the many Artists who have graciously agreed to come together to raise much-needed Hurricane Relief funds. We ask the wider public in the UK, Jamaicans, and friends of Jamaica to support this noble effort.”

Rob Hallett says, “The response from the Artistic community has been overwhelming at such short notice. Please support Jamaica in its hour of need. Buy tickets, donate on the website, do whatever you can. ‘Many a mickle makes a muckle’,”.
