‘GRATE BVI Music Alliance delivered as promised’ - Mr Paul ‘Gadiethz’ Peart
This was said of the group’s feature activity that headlined celebrations of Monday - St. Ursula’s national holiday - titled, GO GREEN Family Fun Day Beach Fest, which was held on the Long Bay Beach.
“I think it was a move in the right direction and as far as our motto says appreciation and respect for all entertainers we at least brought the bar up to about 60 to 70 percent… it’s not a full 100% yet but it’s a work in progress,” said Peart.
The event saw the turnout of a relatively large crowd who were engaged in a number of activities which started at approximately 10:00 am especially as it related to the volley ball competition. Entertainment which should have started at noon never got off until about 1:30pm which according to Peart is one of the things they will be working hard to better come their next promotion.
The only local artiste who did not have the chance to blaze the stage was Tino who had to leave early due to prior engagements elsewhere. “We apologize to our supporters for that but we definitely will be working on time as we go along,” Peart added.
Quito Rhymer with Quito and edge band kicked off the on stage entertainment and they were followed by the Alliance Band which backed the performances of Shine Eye, Macka ‘B’, Rytical, Drastic and Mckenzie Baltimore.
The day also featured an inspirational moment which was done by Wasasha X who spoke about the environment in keeping with the Go Green theme of the day. He also touched on the topical issue of the importance of members of society returning to the days when communities lived as a family.
“The reason why I am proud of the success of the event is that it shows that artistes of the BVI can entertain a large crowd without international headliners,” noted Peart.
President of the group Mr Eustace ‘Boss’ Freeman was very upbeat about the success of the day as they have given their fans and others a great day of entertainment. “I want to thank everyone who came out and made the event a success, the Alliance members/artists for their great performances, speakers, sponsors and the volleyball association,” he said.
Among the many persons at the event were Minister for Education and Culture Honourable Myron V. Walwyn, Representative for the Eighth District Honourable Marlon A. Penn and Chairman of the BVI Festival and Fairs Committee Mr. Marvin ‘MB’ Blyden.
Questioned about their next venture it was hinted, as plans are still in the embryonic stages, that their next move will be to Virgin Gorda to further highlight/feature the local artistes there to showcase the vast talent that exists among the people of that Island.
“I want to thank all the sponsor that came on board for this event to mention some of the key sponsors I want to thank Frontline Entertainment with Neville ‘Sheep’ Smith, RTW, DIGICEL, Representative Hon Alvera Maduro Caines (R6), Bell Entertainment and all the others,” said Mr Peart to this news site.

It soldiers woo woo
Nobody is hating, they're just being real. No matter what's held on that beach on those Holidays it's packed so don't act like you did something spectacular.
