Peter the Coordinator
Me in a serious coordinating mood, yuh idiot….
Guess who is coordinating NCF Cavalcades this year?
If you said Peter Alphonzo Boyce you would be right.
“What” you should exclaim almost shattering your computer screen, “Peter Boyce working for the NCF?? No Freaking Way!”
Well you are freaking wrong! Peter the Boyce through my events management company Supreme Events has been engaged to work with the National Cultural Foundation to make Cavalcades 2008 the best ever.
I have been working for the past few months planning, coordinating and meeting artistes and their management.
This year you will find that all the crowd pullers Lil Rick, Peter Ram, Captain Sawyer will be back on the Cavalcade stage.
Not only big names but you will also be seeing new talent being brought to the fore and exposed in a manner that will benefit young artistes.
Gone are the days when “the Cavalcades” were used to victimize artistes who certain ex CEOs did not like or as a threat to the existence of calypso tents.
Delivering a quality event with the acts you want to see will be the number one priority, Cavalcades 2008, its going to be Great!
Around this time you should be saying “hmm so Boyce working for the government now? So he sell out…”
Well I would like to curse your ass now but I am outta time…
Log on tomorrow when I will answer your questions and queries and if needed curse you royally…..
Boyce is going to coordinate…..
P.S; This is not another April Fool’s joke, though it sounds like it…
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 !!!...

Hate to break up the April Fool’s fun with a sorta serious topic, but on the issue of costumes, any notion that Bds $300 is expensive is ridiculous. First of all, you are not paying for a costume (alone) you are paying for an experience, a day of partying that involves, security, music and, assuming its all inclusive, food, drinks and other value added. Any body ever wonder what it costs for all those bigs trucks, DJ’s and men holding ropes. By comparison an average all inclusive rate in one of the top TT bands is about US $800. That’s 16 hundred Buhbaydus. OK, TT carnival is two days so say half that, that’s still $800 Barbados bucks. And by the way those complaining about skimpy costumes are free to wear sheets and fruit baskets on their head, but guess how many people, locals or tourists will be lining up to buy them. Lighten up Crop Over is our version of carnival. People pay to party, and most people complaining wouldn’t be caught dead playing mass anywhow.

Oh and congrats Peter. Maybe some real entertainment people, like yourselves, will help to put some spirit back in Crop Over. Sometimes I feell a visitor could spend a whole week here and not know a major festival was on. Imagine that happening in Trinidad.

hey jdid
why a tie
do you know that “white people laughing at we”
i interract with visitors on a frequent basis and one of things ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that they always comment on is the way we dress and one of the things they laugh at is the wearing of ties
besides dress they also make a request for local music—live music and they complain about the fact that they do not hear enough local music on local radio stations
