BRICK & Lace lived up to their hype, but disappointed some fans who had expected more than an hour’s performance from the Jamaican twin sisters.

The utl and Club Beer-sponsored show was held at Hotel Africana on Monday night. At 12:03am, the Thorbourne sisters (Nyanda and Nailah) stepped on stage just as fireworks were being displayed. They were welcomed by cheers, although their performance left many asking for more because they did not gyrate like they do in their music videos.

Trying to blend with Africa, they sang Nigerian star, 2 Face Idibia’s African Queen, Akon’s Lonely and Sean Kingston’s Suicidal.

After serenading revellers, most of them teenagers, with Never Never, Repent, the crowd’s favourite Love is Wicked and four other songs that the crowd did not know, Brick ‘n’ Lace left the stage.

Some fans could not believe the show was over, but Henry Tigan, who was scheduled to perform much earlier, came on stage and consoled the fans with two songs.

 Meanwhile backstage, the twins were being whisked off to safety amidst tight security because a big crowd of fans had besieged them demanding autographs and pictures.

Mosh, Peter Miles and Menshan, Ngoni, G-Force dance troupe, Benon & Vamposs, Michael Ross and Qute Kaye also performed.

However, rushing to perform elsewhere, most artistes did a few songs and left the stage early.

Hugging, kissing and dancing formed much of the action, as 2008 was ushered in.

Even at the end of the show, some people stayed at the venue waiting for more entertainment.
