The D250 free concert, celebrating Democracy 250, was held Sept. 27 in the Parade Square in Halifax, and was a huge success.

With his exposed arms showing off his many colourful tattoos, and his tight blue designer blue jeans, Hoggard delivered an exciting and energetic performance, just as expected.
