"Later that same year, in a unanimous decision, 300 individuals from 80 member steelbands of Pan Trinbago, vote to boycott the Panorama competition, in protest of the low and inadequate appearance fees they had been receiving for years. Desperadoes breaks the boycott."
In 1979 the majority of steelbands were in agreement with the MOTIVE for a boycott, in 2017 they are not.
