Wednesday 15th December saw the first staging of Half Way Tree Live which was held at Mandela Park in the centre of Half Way Tree.

Each theme night the event showcased the different upcoming talents in our music, arts and entertainment. Comedy night saw Lovindeer telling stories to the young children and a host of comedian doing their 15 minutes stint.

The event including upcoming young talent from the Edna Manley School of Arts and even a rock band paying popular reggae hits. Vintage night pulled the most crowd as it featured the likes of Ken Boothe, General Trees, Little Twitch and U Roy’s sound system, Stur Gav Sound selecting some classic hits.
