Randy Glasgow Productions’ (RGP) chief cook and bottle washer believes that mega international summer concerts are a thing of the past. He said: “I would say yes, they are dead right now. The main problem facing promoters is obtaining foreign currency to pay international artistes. Plus, the current financial climate in our country doesn’t augur well for promoters. I don’t see this changing before the next four-five years.”
Glasgow’s advice on these challenges is: “What promoters need to do for survival is to become creative and use our local stars and whatever emerging talents we can unearth.”
Instead of seeking artistes from overseas to perform locally during the August-September period, Glasgow is staging “a first-time festival” which will be held outside of Port-of-Spain, branded The First Chutney & World Rhythms Festival....
..Asked which international superstars he would have liked to bring to Trinidad, Frank said: “Bruno Mars, Drake and Ed Sheeran, without a doubt. They are really big.”

This is good for the local artiste, it could also make the promoters more confident to use local.

Bad news, Patrick!!! That economy IS NOT COMING back in 4 to 5 years. Rowley took on too much debt and Tesla released the new electric car on Friday -- things they are a'changing.
