Alison Hinds “Roll” Music Video
Here’s one of my favorite people, I call her Alison Hinds, she calls me P.Boyce. There’s us at the Barbados Music Awards this year. Alison and I go back to the days when Square One started out and performed with Madd at those small community events in St Philip, Barbados back in the 80’s. Now Alison has outlived Square one and wears the title of “Soca Diva of the Caribbean”.
One of the things about Alison is she is such a cool person; she has not let fame and being the “ultimate soca diva” go to her head. She is also multi-talented. Alison sings, dances and also did a guest appearance in our “Best of Barbados Gone Madd” comedy show last year, I will try and get Darron to post that footage for you. Check her out with Carolann above in a scene from the comedy sketch “woman power”.
Here is Alison’s music video, how come we don’t see these quality videos on our CBC TV? It features Machel doing a guest appearance click to see “Roll It Gal”.
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

Sometime ago the N C F hosted a series of seminars and as part of those exercises the music policy of Barbadian Media Houses was examined. It was made very clear that Barbadian Media Houses do not have a music policy as it relates to barbadian music.
I am not talking about playing 70% cropover music and 70% bajan music at independence. I am talking about a proper , structured approach to barbadian music that understands the need to promote barbadian music- not just play a few songs. There is so much recorded music from barbadians that is not promoted by the media houses in Barbados -it is national disgrace- Music in a variety of genres by a variety of artiste including both gospel and secular: rock music from groupw such as Kite; instrumental music from the POLICE FORCE BAND; steelpan music from people such as Morgan, Benn, Banks Sound Tech . There is so much music -I cant call all –I aint talk about reggae, jazz and all the soca/calypso music that does not get played during or after cropover.
I feel so strongly about this that I have applied for permission to picket the radio stations to demand that more local music be played. The Police turned down my application but I AM GOING TO TRY AGAIN.
Any time I get my hands on a radio station I am going to put the present radio stations to shame. The artistes in Barbados must get up and fight and stop being divided. Certain artistes who feel that they are the elite MUST STOP bad talking and blocking others AND LET US MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER TO FIGHT THIS PROBLEM
Thank You !
