REGGIE ROCKSTONE & GYEDU BLAY AMBOLLEY LEAD MUSICIANS TO SAVE A HEART AT MUSIC FESTIVAL

It was fun for funds at the Accra International Conference Center on Saturday when some of the finest music stars in Ghana including Tic Tac, Reggie Rockstone, Tinny, R2Bees, Praye and Gyedu Blay Ambolley poured their hearts out musically to support The Golden Heart Trust to raise funds to facilitate the well being of the teeming number of children with heart disorders.

Although the Dome wasn't packed to capacity on the night, the audience had a rollicking time as most of the artists gave off their best making it a night to remember not only as a fund raising night but a fun-filled one as well.

Tic Tac, the Ambassador of the Trust, gave revelers a good reason why he is goes by the signature phrase 'The Most Wanted” by churning out an eclectic collection of his crossover hits including Fe Fe Ne Fe as the crowd yearned for more. “Tic Tac rocks”, a member of the audience exclaimed in an interview after the show. Gyedu Blay gave off his best but took the crowd though his predictable arrangement of songs which seem to be almost the same at all events lately including Citti FM's MOGO concert.

When, founder of Hiplife, Reggie Rockstone mounted the stage, all pointed to the fact that show had reached its climax – his appearance, the flow, charisma and prowess blended to set the tone for an awesome performance that would linger on the memories of the patrons.

Former Joy FM Dj turned Pastor; Azigia Jnr was there with Doreen Andoh to anchor the charity show which organizers say could turn an annual event.

All net proceeds of the event are going towards heart surgeries for Ghanaian children suffering from a variety of serious heart conditions. According to the organizers, approximately 200 children in Ghana are diagnosed with heart disorders every year. The proceeds are yet to be announced.

To date, Golden Hearts Trust has sponsored the open heart surgeries of over 35 children. All surgeries take place at the National Cardiothoracic Centre. Linda Oppong and Josephine Boahemaa are kids who have so far benefited from the Trust, having successfully undergone open heart surgeries at the center.
