Panman Ian Beckles
gets his wish
LMS experiences Carnival 2K9
Trinidad - Carnival 2009 has become a time to remember for peripatetic pan tutor - Trinidadian Ian “Cokie” Beckles, and the nineteen members of the Luton Music Service (LMS) for whom he arranges.
In an interview with Hollis Clifton of WACK90.1FM - Beckles revealed that it was in 2007 following a concert in the UK, he expressed to the audience that his dream was to take the kids to Trinidad “the Home of the Steelpan” to experience carnival “the Greatest Show on Earth” and of course the steelband culture, in full swing during that period.
According to Ian, his boss, Stephen Beaven, head of the Luton Music Service promised 100% support on the venture. The rest is now history.
