The Norwich gig was the second benefit night for Kenny in the city after an event was set up earlier in the month by promoters Roots and Culture, featuring rapper Skinnyman.
Described by Finbarr as one of Norwich's "Biggest and best ever reggae gigs" and featuring the vocal talents of Chanter, Errol Bellot, Kingjay, Dixie Peach, Askala Sellasie, Nereus Joseph and Hughie Izachaar, other nights are also scheduled to take place across the globe during the year.
The gigs have been organised to help towards the £6,500 cost of bringing Kenny's body back to the UK, which was buried in February 2010.
As Kenny had no travel insurance while out in Ghana, the British Embassy was under no obligation to pay for his body to be flown back home. Friends and family therefore stepped in to cover the cost.
"My phonebook is the greatest legacy Kenny gave me - that sounds stupid, but in the reggae world, like all worlds, it is who you know," said Finbarr.
"When we were organising the fundraiser I phoned up people and everyone who answered said 'Yes'. A lot of people talk the talk, but Kenny walked the walk and that's very inspiring," he added.
The Kenny Kulcha benefit gig, organised by Rebel Lion Sound System, took place at Clarke's venue on 85 Barker Street in Norwich on Saturday, 27 February 2010.
