News: Degree in Manchester

"FANS FROM MANCHESTER were treated to a musical feast ranging from new artistes to roots reggae and dancehall acts at this year's staging of General Degree's Manchester Fiesta on Saturday night.

Several fans turned out to see their favourite artistes perform at the show which was held at the Kirkvine Sports Club. The show which started over an hour late featured several good performances that had the crowd screaming, shouting and begging for more.

To kick-start the show, several upcoming artistes from the parish got to showcase their lyrical and performing ability when the list of about 12 acts tried to gain the crowd's support, but not all succeeded. Artistes such as Caution, Nicky Culture, Crazy T, Lick Shot and Mr. Steele seemed to be the better of the bunch as their performances earned screams for more from the audience.

Local TRN provided musical back-up for the upcoming artistes and kept the crowd rocking to the rhythms. After a brief band change, the show resumed with the band Live Wyyah behind the instruments. "
