Pan Trinbago has issued a response to an article published in the Trinidad Guardian of Monday 21 April 2014 under the headline “Pan Trinbago owes pannists $2m for Pan Is Beautiful XII”

It states: “The President of Pan Trinbago, Keith Diaz, communicated with the Minister of The Arts & Multiculturalism, Hon. Dr. Lincoln Douglas, who confirmed that the matter of outstanding payments to member bands that participated in the Pan Is Beautiful XII Steelband Music Festival is currently receiving the attention of the Cabinet of Trinidad & Tobago.”

While Pan Trinbago understands the position of the participants, it wishes to assure members that notwithstanding the delay, every effort is being made to rectify the situation.

The Steelband Body is therefore optimistic that the matter will be resolved.

“We promise to advise on further developments”.
