alleyway, will feature artists Pluggy Satchmo, Bernie Pitters, Leroy Sibbles, Lord Tanamo, Calypso Rose, Jay Douglas, Stranger Cole, Johnny Osbourne, Jojo Bennett, Nana
McLean, Haile Selassie, Bob Marley, the Skatalites, as well as the symbol of the Lion of Judah. Lead by artist Adrian Hayles >>>MURAL, page 7
