Youth dance crew to open for reggae legends

Young people from Medway will share the stage with reggae icons at a fundraising concert aimed at supporting Jamaica's recovery from a recent hurricane. The "Giants of Lovers Rock" event, held at London's O2 Indigo Arena on December 18th, will see the "Young People United" group opening for established artists. This performance offers a unique platform for the youth to contribute to a vital cause.

The concert lineup includes renowned reggae stars such as Maxi Priest, Janet Kay, and Carroll Thompson, all performing their time without charge. The initiative seeks to raise much-needed funds for the rebuilding of Jamaica, a nation that has significantly contributed to British culture. Organizers highlighted that many individuals connected to the Medway-based charity have close ties to the Caribbean island.

All proceeds generated from the event will be donated to the US non-profit organization Food For The Poor. Beyond performing, members of "Young People United" will also volunteer at the concert, with some youth members conducting backstage interviews with the performers, further engaging them in the relief efforts.
