FILMMAKER and founder of Banyan Ltd Christopher Laird says his long-time colleague and friend Dennis “Sprangalang” Hall should be classed among the best of kaiso masters.

Hall, 71, died on Friday, two days after his birthday, and just six months after his older brother, playwright Tony Hall, died from a heart attack at his home in Tobago. He was also 71.

Hall (Dennis), who spent nearly two months in hospital last year, was again warded at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, since September 25, after he suffered a stroke. He is survived by his wife, 2019 Calypso Queen Natasha “Sexy Susie” Nurse and his daughter.
