PHOTOS: Big turn-out for Non-stop Concert

Residents turned out in their numbers on June 30, to enjoy the food, art and performances at the Non-stop concert held at the festival grounds in Road Town.

The number of people who enjoyed the acts and festivities at the show far outweighs the criticism from some sections of the community that felt the $250,000 government contributed towards the show could have been better spent.

The crowd enjoyed the international and local acts featured on the show but patrons were particularly thrilled by Monea and the award winning duo, R City.
