We took a walk round the venue to observe what they meant by "All Inclusive" …Talk bout food, from Bake n Shark to both Curry and Creole delights! Most folks at this time choose to stop and sit under the tents and while enjoying the cuisine. Well the drinks was another story! We talking Premium stuff and a lot to go around too! Making our way back to the stage area, veteran band Roy Cape All Stars with lead singers Blaxx and Rita Jones jus getting warmed up. By now a lil more of the crowd had made there way to stage side to take in de music! Blaxx performed his hit “Never Know” along with several other big soca tunes. New lead singer Rita had men grasping at her feet as she performed her hit song "Carnival Feeling". She also performed many other big soca tunes from Alison Hinds to the late Onika Bostic. The crowd was really getting in the groove.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better they brought on Shurwayne Winchester. Yeah, de two time road march champ came on and did his ting. His signature towel swinging move had the ladies in a frenzy. He even made his way into the crowd … talk bout madness! The fete was in full swing. The ladies were not the only ones they catered for ... after Shurwayne, the crowd went crazy to the sounds of sexy Faye Ann Lyons who delivered a sizzling performance! Yuh couldn’t find a woman in front the stage! Her electrifying performance had male patrons mesmerized. Popular song “Focus” really had man focused alright! And her 2003 Road March tune, "Display," seemed to be a crowd favorite! Her performance was truly enjoyed (especially for the guys). At one point she even stopped to run all de married men from in front her stage. We wonder where their wives were? Look trouble!

Later on in the evening, Dil E Nadan took the stage for a second time. This time they decided to change the flavour, putting a chutney twist to local reggae tune "Don’t you Know" by Isasha. The crowd really enjoyed this. Roy Cape then came back on stage, and boy did folks like this. They pretty much closed off the party. People then chipped to their cars taking in the sweet sounds of the Pan round de neck band!

Nice Party!! Nice People!! TJJ out!!
