This year's Reggae Sumfest saw the Big Ship family pulling out all the stops, both in their performances and in their dramatic outfits.

On Thursday, Dancehall night, the grounds of Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, came alive to the sounds of Chino as he entered the stage in a full white outfit, reminiscent of 17th Century army fatigue, designed by ace-designer, Romeich. His strong, clear vocalsinundated the venue from the beginning to the end of his set, which included some of his mega hits: Before Dem Gone (which paid homage to O'Neil of Voicemail), From Mawnin', an ultra-sexy R&Bremix of Ruff It Up which had the ladies in the venue going wild, and more.

Another feature which created a wave of excitement throughout the venue was the emergence of captain of the 'ship', Freddie McGregor, who made a brief entry on his son's set. Then came yet another surprise, from Chino, the lieutenant of the musical ship. When the band started playing the intro for Protected, which also features brother and one of Jamaica's top producers, Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor, the crowd went wild with anticipation. When Di Genius made his entrance onstage there were thunderous roars from the audience for the enigmatic youngster who is rarely seen outside of the studio, let alone, doing performances. The two, then went into otherfan favourites including: Clap It And Drop It,Cyaa Friend Again, Naw Forgive and Cyaa Tek We Life.
