Reviews
Voice Online has a review with photos of the One Love Peace Festival at the Wembley Arena in London! “An overrun of the previous performers meant that the night’s headline act didn’t get as long on stage as he should have… Running through hits including Angel, Bonafide Girl and old school dancehall favourite Big Up, Shaggy delivered an impressive, albeit short set.”
A couple of quotes from attendees: Carmen: “Shaggy wicked show on Sunday at the One Love Peace Festival!! Short but sweet. Come back soon xXx ?”, Louise Elmy: “Shaggy – waiting 9 hours for a 15 minute set – was it really worth it????? HELL YES!!!!!!!”, JayBee: “Shaggy Big Performance at Wembley. You tore the roof off and blew the damn doors off” and Tineka Small: “Shaggy ah buss up di ting!”

A quote from the interview: How would describe the sound and special style for this new Summer in Kingston album? What made you decide to go for a digital album?
Summer in Kingston
I just wanted to create a real feel good album, when you’ve been doing it for as much time I as I have, you want to re-invent and do something that still lives. It’s a digital album and the best part is, I’m giving you a recession price – $2.99! A sign of a appreciation more so than anything, I just wanted to get everybody back, involved, feelin’ it and lovin’ it.
Next year: physical cd release with more songs to be added!
It’s a 2 year project that we are having, we will eventually put the hard copy out with more tracks to it. At the moment there are 8. Sugarcane is the first single which is doing really well over here in the states, lots of buzz, lots of vibes…. we’re doing our thing, so fingers crossed. Read more.

One Love Peace Festival History
The One Love Peace Festival has been inspired by the 1978 One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica, which was held to bring about peace between the warring factions in Jamaica and Kingston’s inner city areas. Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Beres Hammond and Big Youth were among the performers. As for footage of this historical concert: here’s a video in which Bob Marley sang Jammin’ and had rivaling political leaders Michael Manley and Edward Seaga shake hands after bringing them on stage.
