Laa Lee and Kraff to headline Hague show

Rising dancehall sensations Laa Lee and Kraff will headline the performers at the 66th staging of the annual Hague Agricultural and Industrial show, near Falmouth in Trelawny on Ash Wednesday, February 22.

Other secular entertainers booked to perform include Rhemi Ice, Proghres, Unknown Gringo and Brix Don. Radio personality Jenny Jenny and the Dancing Dynamites will provide entertainment during the day. Joseph Scott will headline the gospel artistes, including Unity Singers and Shavaun Reid, who are also down to perform at the family show.

Laa Lee, whose given name is Romario Ricketts, is known for songs such as Dirt Bounce, Leggo the Bird and Tip In a It. Kraff, whose given name Tevin Randall, rose to dancehall prominence with songs such as Dinero, OG Bobby Johnson, Charge up and Floating. The artiste, who hails from western Jamaica, is a past student of Rusea's High School in Hanover.

The annual Hague Agricultural and Industrial Show is being hosted by the Trelawny Association of Branch Societies, an affiliate of the Jamaica Agricultural Society, under the theme: 'Fostering Economic Growth, Through Agricultural Value Chains'.

The show gives farmers and producers of agricultural products the opportunity to showcase a diversity of agricultural products and services that are aligned with agriculture.

President of the Trelawny Association of Branch Society, Audrey Nelson, said that based on the line-up of artistes, she is expecting a record turnout.

"We are very excited about this year's show as we are ensuring that the entertainers we selected for the show are artistes with decent and not lewd lyrics as this is a family show and we don't intend to undermine its integrity," Nelson stated.
