A virtual benefit concert is slated for next Wednesday night in honour of singer/songwriter and Ssignal Productions head Bonny Alves who recently under-went surgery after an illness, with dona-tions going towards his recovery.
The coordination of the concert is a joint effort by National Music School Director Andrew Tyndall, Nigel Worrell of ANSA McAL and CEO of Kross Kolor Records Burchmore Simon. The perform-ers will include his wife Charmaine Blackman, Jumo Primo, Niketa, Big Red, Brandon Harding, the Yoruba Singers, Diana Chapman, Dawn ‘Lady D’ Edwards, Samantha Grant, King Perai, Ego, Circle of Love, Devon Denny, Eze Rockcliffe, Kady Kish, Calvin Burnette, Vanilla, and others. Popular radio broadcaster Malcolm ‘Mr.Wickedee’ Ferreira will be the host.
The event will be streamed live from HJTV and Bonny is expected to be present as guest of honour. “I’ve had no hand in setting this up but I am grateful and appreciative of all those who have joined together to make this happen,” he said. So far, his hospital and recovery bills amount to $1.9 million. Donations made through the upcoming event will help to offset these expenses.
