Former leader of the Chalice Band, Wayne Armond, will be the special guest performer at this year’s staging of Musical Delights, the concert held annually to raise funds for the Sight Clinic operated by the Lions Club of Kingston at 30 Beechwood Avenue, Kingston 5.

Wayne, who migrated to the United States, has not performed in Jamaica in recent years and gladly accepted the invitation from the Lions Club to add his talent to the formidable lineup already booked for the show.

He was particularly pleased to hear that some of the proceeds will go to the Hurricane Melissa recovery effort in which the Lions are involved.

His fans can look forward to hearing their favourite Chalice songs such as Revival Time, Good To Be There, and Still Love You, performed in his inimitable style.

Wayne Armond will be joined on stage at Musical Delights by crowd favourites such as George Nooks, Duane Stephenson, Gem Myers, Maria Myrie and Everton Pessoa in cabaret. Dr Michael Abrahams will provide comedic relief in his role as MC.

Musical Delights 2026 will also feature a tribute to leader of the Third World Band, Cat Coore, who died January 17. Cat was an internationally rated guitarist whose mastery of the Cello was unrivalled. The tribute to this legend will be performed by Emily Elliot on Cello. The Bare Essentials Band will provide backing for all artistes.

Musical Delights XVI—February 8 at 6 pm in the Gardens of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel—is presented by the Lions Club of Kingston, with proceeds in aid of Melissa Relief and the Sight Foundation of Jamaica. Tickets are available online at Touchstonelink.com.
