Neal & Massy Trinidad All Stars were said to have been particularly impressive at this showing; where it was noted that the band appeared to comprise mostly of young children.
  [ Wakeee Wakeee T&T!, be a little less patronising. These children are more focused than the wanged out of their heads old panmen, and more than capable players as a result; but could do with a bit of a sleep. 03:00 am to 05:00 am is a bit much! - eEd ]
