It might be a bit late now as I am sure everything is in place already, but it would be fitting to include a tribute to Arrow in the upcoming BMAs – after all, he was the first man that truly took soca to the world and paved the way for Machel, Alison Hinds, Edwin, Rupee and Kevyn Lyttle. May God comfort his family and friends at this sad time in their lives.

Hello Mr Boyce
I have asked before and I will do so again. Why is steelpan music not represented at this event? There are steelbands that play on the hotel circuit. I look forward to seeing change in this area very soon.
