Evolution is key to ensuring everlasting existence. Failure to evolve and adapt will lead to extinction as we have seen and see daily as species of animals disappear from our planet. To evolve also means continuity in the cultural expressions we hold so dear and failure to adapt to the constant change in trends and how people express themselves will result in stagnation and demise.
With that in mind Randy Glasgow Productions (RGP) is constantly researching what people want in the way of entertainment so that they can create and deliver events that satisfy everyone. This has served RGP well over the years as what they have learnt by staying in touch with their patrons led to the creation of several of the biggest events of Carnival over the years such as Coca Cola Youth Fest, Chutney Brass, Ladies Night Out TT, Carnival Comedy Fest and when Carnival is over, the massive Alternative Comedy Festival.
All of these events were born out of RGP listening to people saying what they wished could happen inside of the Carnival and he decided to give them what they wanted. During Carnival 2014 the people of San Fernando and communities further south were commenting that they wished they could have a mega soca music event down their way so that they can see the biggest soca bands and artistes all on one stage. They also said they would like to see the greats from the Southland doing their thing together on the same stage.
And so RGP came up with the idea of creating a new Carnival festival of music in South, something with a unique twist. Come Carnival 2015 RGP will premiere the Sunburn Music Festival. Sunburn 1 comes off on Carnival Saturday February 14, at Guaracara Park, Point a Pierre from 11 pm until whenever the sun begins to burn or about 11 am.
This gives San Fernando another big event during what is the most hectic period of the Carnival season. Sunburn Music Festival - Saturday 14, Calypso Fiesta and Chutney Brass Saturday 7.
Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Arts and Multiculturalism, SIS, Blue Waters, Monster Energy Drink, Coca Cola, Carib,CNMG Television, Petrotrin Sports Club, and White Oak have already signaled their support of Sunbern Music Festival 1, which will surely bring thousands to the Second City . Hotels and guest houses in San Fernando and environs will definitely enjoy sold out bookings.
RGP has begun to negotiate with the management of all the major soca bands and artistes such as Machel Montano HD, Bunji Garlin, Fay Ann Lyons and the Asylum Vikings, Kes the Band, Destra and Bakanal, Nadia Batson with Sass, Image and Company to perform at Sunbern 1. There will also be performances by several of the big acts being featured at SIS Chutney Brass the line-up of which will include KI and 3Veni, Dil E Nadan and Karma.
Design plans for the stage and venue are already being drawn and RGP promises an awesome venue where patrons will love to spend their weekend come Carnival 2015.
