I don't recall seeing Pantrinbago's top brass at the show tonight. I must admit, this was one awesome show. In my estimation, I'd say that there could have been in excess of Three Thousand (3,000) in attendance. Hats off to the organizers and Committee of ISF on the production and staging of this show. It was well oiled and flowed really smooth.
The "Big 5" concert was excellent. It was both a concert and a "Blocko." It appears to have been well attended. An excellent range of music, tempos, and performances. Smooth transitions from band to band and the sound was very good. We need more, and perhaps include bands from south and Tobago. It was after all stage sides, so "Big 5" has connotations. Yeah, yeah, transportation and accommodations. Extremely glad it was streamed live and without cost (to me).
This was great. I hope they bring a repeat since I miss part. Brenda H.

Claude. I liked the entertainment provided for this event. Reminded me a lot like the previous endeavor..The Four Pillars of Steel.
But as you said there was not much that can be used to compile music for the global market. The Mecca does not realize that the world is ahead of them and they need to step up - big time - to the level of what we expats have been exposed to for quite a while now.
I felt that a couple tunes made me get up and dance around while, with the majority, I was content to sit, look and listen.
I am grateful to WST and Pan Times for providing over 22 bands under their ...pillars of steel offering.
Will I support this new organization? Of course, once they continue to improve and provided they give us expats something we could boast about.

The count for viewership on YouTube is still less than 700. Only time will tell how many subsequent viewers the video will attract , since the show was fairly well advertised.
However the relatively low numbers should remind us that before we start worrying about issues of copyright and profits etc.. we have work to do, to create a market for steelband music and performance.
I think putting this on YouTube for free was a great idea.
This is only a beginning , and who knows what can be done in future if enough interest is created ?
If all goes well , this could very well be the planting of seeds that may grow and become something worthwhile and profitable.
