      That's why it will never be marketable and reason why BVI will remain backwards, because of persons like you.

    I haven't heard a meeting to meet with all local bands, hear what we have to say, what we have to offer to help improve our Festival and decreasing our cost...I still believe in a pre Festival Fun Raiser for BVI bands interested in taking part in the festival, each band do a 45 mins session, Free, no pay, , hear what they have to offer..You maybe surprised...

    The Premier was asking the prayer warriors to pray for the country and the same prayer warriors who told him don’t bring vibes cartel he went against them. Make it make sense
