PANORAMA is the OPIATE of PAN PEOPLE and BEVERLEY knows that so she is extending the PANORAMA SEASON to FOUR MONTHS to tie up PAN PEOPLE HEAD ...

... now last I heard, she had not paid MANY STEELBANDS their APPEARANCE FEES FOR 2019 as yet. But these players are already lined up to play for PANORAMA 2020 for FREE while $60,000,000 just disappeared from PAN TRINBAGO over the last 10 years.
