Taking the stage in a yellow slim fit blouse, Ammoye brought rays of sunshine to the audience as she delivered a strong 30 minute set.

Choosing Diana Ross’s song “Coming Out” for her theme entrance, Ammoye was introduced by management mate Najjah who hyped the crowd, making sure they knew Ammoye’s name before the songstress took the stage.

Beginning her set with her hit single “Lost Love,” Ammoye had the crowd singing the chorus, and photographers rushing the stage for photos. Ammoye continued with her song on the Alton Rock riddim, “Still In Love” which was produced by Fireball Records as a tribute to the late Alton Ellis.
Rounding out the set were the song’s “Push,” where Ammoye featured Neo-Soul singer Natasha, “Shooting,” calling for an end to the violence and “Yuh Nuh Ready!”

“To be at the festival feels irie and Blessed,” said Ammoye after her performance, and hearing the loud cheers from the fans. “This girl has a voice,” said Winston, a fan of the festival. “Mih hear her pon radio, but live even betta!” Gramps Morgan was disappointed that arrived late, and missed Ammoyes set, but vowed to catch her next performance.

Next for Ammoye are back to back recording sessions as she prepares for the release of her album early next year. - Natasha VonCastle

The Juno Awards are returning to Ottawa in 2017 as part of the national capital's celebration of Canada's 150th birthday.

Mayor Jim Watson made the widely-anticipated announcement today at the Mercury Lounge in the ByWard Market with performances by Ottawa's Rise Ashen and Toronto-based Ammoye, both previous Juno nominees.

Performers from across the country will fill local clubs and larger venues with the sounds of every kind of music.

Landing the Junos in 2017 — the year when Canada marks the 150th anniversary of Confederation — has been a key part of Watson's plan.

The mayor is hoping to score a hat-trick that year by securing three marquee events: the CFL Grey Cup championship, the NHL Winter Classic and the Junos.

Neither the CFL nor the NHL have announced a host city for 2017 festivities yet.

Ottawa last hosted the Junos in 2012 when Feist won artist of the year and Justin Bieber took home the fan choice award.

The televised awards show, hosted by William Shatner, drew about 12,000 people to the Canadian Tire Centre.

There was also a gala dinner at the Shaw Centre and live shows at numerous downtown night clubs, including Mercury Lounge.

Juno Week 2016, to be held in Calgary, is scheduled for March 28 to April 3.

The Juno Awards were also held in Ottawa in 2003. - CBC News
