As Nell Hamilton writes:

“The gig was fantastic. I haven’t danced so hard in years. I was sure I’d have a good night anyway, but I had an exceptionally brilliant night. He [Shaggy] was such a great entertainer – seemed surprisingly down to earth… I had an absolutely fantastic evening and feel a little flat now it’s over!”
