But the 1,300-odd Islanders who enjoyed the Help for Haiti CI music festival at Fort Regent on Sunday will tell you that they all helped make the day a success.

From 2.30 pm until 10 pm, dozens of local musicians – and a sprinkling of UK acts – performed on three different stages at the event, helping raise more than £25,000.

Organiser Niall MacFirbhisigh said that lots of people had worked hard to pull the show together as a reaction to the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated Haiti in January.

The Bailiff, Michael Birt, was a special guest at the festival and went on stage at about 7 pm to thank Islanders, on behalf of the Jersey Disaster Fund, for raising money.nextpage
