It was meant to draw the curtains this year
on Star Trek, Nigeria ’s longest running music
concert tour. Expectations were high, given
the huge celebration recorded at nine
previous towns, and especially as theirs was
meant to hold few weeks back but was
unfortunately postponed.
There were fears whether the show would
hold this time around. But the show held and
as was expected, Kwale turned out to be an
unexpected befitting wrap up for Star Trek
2010.
Signs of what to expect emerged early
Saturday evening when there was a heavy
movement of youths to the centre of town
where the Stadium is located. The town folk
trooped out in their thousands. As usual in
recent Star Trek performances, some
upcoming acts were given opportunity to
shine but the first big act to perform in the
night was Jukebox, Star Quest 2010 winning
band who came in singing their hit tract
“ Omalicha Nwa”.
They did some stunts and a special song for
Da Grin. When the crowd thought it was
over, the group returned with special a
Thank You song. To them, it was their own
way of appreciating all those who voted for
them during the talent hunt programme
which ended early April.
They were closely followed by D’accord,
another Star Quest winning band who came
with their energetic dance style. Bracket also
performed their popular song Yori Yori
asking some spectators to prove their
knowledge of the song.
The high point of their performance was a
dramatic performance of Ada Owerri, where
some ladies were picked up from the crowd
to dance. It was an interesting night and the
second half of the night was even more
entertaining with performances from Faze,
Bracket, Wande Coal and P-Square.
The last weekend of Star Trek 2010 was not
only outstanding but, a befitting ending to
the national music tour which has so far
lived up to expectations as the longest
running music concert tour in Nigeria.
