Lending support in HIV/AIDS battle

IT WAS ONE Love and one collective hope at Ilaro Court on Saturday night.
Hundreds of people, armed with blankets, chairs, coolers and several other things which lend to comfort on a family night out, packed the lawns of the Prime Minister’s official residence to offer support to and show solidarity with people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, and to say a loud “no” to gender-based violence, at the annual Love, Poetry And Song concert.
There was something in the mix for everyone, whether it was straight up poetry, song, dance or multi-media, and based on the response of the audience, who got more fired up and fancy-free as the night wore on, the artistes in the line-up delivered in a major way.
Among those getting a lot of love from the responsive crowd were Daveny Ellis, the group Multifarious, Adrian Greene, Bobo and Simon Pipe, Toni Norville and Biggie Irie.
