'Konshens' to headline BVITB’s ‘Non-stop’ free concert on June 30
This concert, which is a further celebration of the direct commercial flights from the US mainland to the VI by American Airlines, was announced today, June 2, 2023, by Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) during a special press conference.
The event will be held at Brandywine Bay in the Seventh District.
Other artists will include Rock City, Vibe, Kamau A. Georges, Jeremy Vanterpool and more.
Garfield Delano Spence aka 'Konshens', has hits such as 'Winner', 'Rasta Impostor', 'This Means Money', 'Good Girl Gone Bad', 'Gal Dem A Talk', 'Realest Song', 'Represent', 'Do Sumn', 'Forward', and 'Gal a bubble'.
Konshens has a large fanbase in Kenya, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Europe.
'Commitment' to tourism
“Not only is this concert a celebration of our nonstop service between Miami and Beef Island, but it also signals this government's commitment to entertainment tourism, which enhances our overall tourism product by providing locals and visitors with activities that are vibrant and exciting,” Premier Wheatley said.
Dr Wheatley noted that with the engagement of the Events Manager at the BVI Tourism Board (BVITB), Mr Dirk L. Walters, people can expect more events throughout the year to encourage an influx of more tourists from North America and across the region.
The Premier also said the particular project was part of diversifying the tourism product, given the expected influx of visitors to the VI.
He added there were several factors that went into determining the lineup, including the availability of artists, costs, and more.
"Mr Walters reminded me that the concert will be completely free to encourage persons from around the world to come and enjoy the event."

Spending an absorbent amount of money on FOOLISHNESS!!!!!!

Have these imbeciles not learnt from the COI???!!!?!!!
FIX ROADS, EDUCATION SYSTEM, WATER, ELECTRICITY… the BASIC NEEDS!!!!
Many ASSUME God’s blessing them or granted them something when the devil also gives those who follow his ways want they want so they need to STOP PUTTING GOD’S NAME IN THINGS HE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN.
Matthew 6:1, 24
6:1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.“
Cut the BULL!!!!!
Everything have to have a negative statement because this government and the sh** that they have been doing since election makes no sense. Is there a cost benefit analysis or visitors' survey to support your statement that a free concert with a Jamaican dancehall artiste will give hotels and restaurants a chance to make some money and if so, how many hotels and how much money? Taxi drivers will benefit with or without a concert and so your point is?
Most of the fire officers are about to retire due to extended years serves! No fire equipment for a massive incident at the airport.
No or not enough ambulances to deal with an airport accident! And two(2) dieheart life guard for the whole of Nature's little Secret. Wake up BVI, We heading fo more lawsuits!!
some of those dollars should have gone to improve that hazard at pockwood pond
