IT was a great night of excellent performances from the BIG 5 (ISF) concert from beginning to end. All bands were sharp and came to perform and produce a successful show and my overall winner of the concert was PAN and more PAN. Mr. Cecil Hinkson I listen keenly to all bands and could not hear your iron section, maybe the mikes did not pick them up or it was not needed for this type of show. Kudos to the BIG 5 for a splendid night of Pan Music.

  • Claude my friend the Iron is the heart, it keep the beat, I'm sure every band had one. As for the concert  the BIG5 "represented" it was excellent, one can see that the organizers put their best foot forward and it paid off.

    • Cecil: Is Earl Richards who start the PICONG. I am just in a good mood celebrating the VICTORY LAST NIGHT!!! Everybody looking for WUK now with the ISF. I likely to get FIRE in the MORNING because PEOPLE NOW SEE THE LIGHT and they rushing to JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON.

      This PAN TING eh EASY yuh know!!!

  • Good point of reference, Earl!!! But Allison Hinds is ON THE ROAD FOR CARNIVAL.

    OUR SONG takes place in the PAN YARD. In JEAN and DINAH, after SPARROW spreads the news around -- all the CAVE MEN COME INTO TOWN to "DEAL" with JEAN and DINAH. In this song, once word spreads that the ARRANGER is looking for MORE IRON in the BAND -- Yuh should see how much IRON MEN line up in the PAN YARD!!!

    • Claude, you have 2 lines dey already:

      Once word spreads that the ARRANGER is looking for MORE IRON in the BAND

      Yuh should see how much IRON MEN line up in the PAN YARD!!!

      • ... and dey ready to JAM IRON REAL HARD (LOL!!!)

        • So many Iron men came out to practice that the female arranger said she never saw so many difference sizes and descriptions of Iron Men in her life. and one of them was Cecil Hinkson. Cecil what do you think of Claude's idea or (topic) for a Calypso ''  SHE WANTS MORE IRON IN THE BAND'' ?

          • Earl: I eh laugh DAT hard in a LONG LONG TIME!!! You got the PICTURE.

            All kinda IRON MAN/Come out to try dey HAN!!!

            Earl: All Cecil care about is PAN ON THE ROAD for CARNIVAL!!!

  • Earl: The discussion on "IRON IN THE BAND" led me to an idea (a topic) for a CALYPSO. The story is about a female arranger who is preparing a STEELBAND for PANORAMA. Of course she has been reading this forum and she heard us arguing with Cecil about TOO MUCH IRON IN THE BAND. So she decides to do it our way and reduce the amount of IRON IN THE BAND. But as the CARNIVAL TEMPO picks up she finds that the BAND is not sounding HARD ENOUGH for PANORAMA without all the IRON. So she wakes up one morning and concludes that "SHE WANT MORE IRON IN THE BAND" -- the TITLE of the CALYPSO and the HOOK LINE.

    We just need a WRITER and Aquil will do the MUSICAL COMPOSITION. And, of course, the right SINGER!!!

    • Claude knowing Cecil he will not want to left out of this, Cecil this one posted below is all for you.
