For Mr. Alred Frett, there is so much more that can be done in terms of the utilisation of the park. This has given birth to a smart idea which he as taken on. Every Thursday, during lunch break "Until they decide to remove me," Mr. Frett said in a burst of laughter. Its something he started not less than three months ago.

According to Frett, "Its just a matter of utilising the Park instead of it being dormant there." He said that the musical entertainment has been attracting locals as well as tourists alike. "I usually have an open mic that anyone can come and sing along," he said, adding that it's "nothing Formal."

He sees this as a way of him contributing back to society.

Also there was a man called 'King Man' and once you are a person with a love of soul, you couldn't pass without stopping to enjoy the music just for a moment.

Mr. Frett is a Medical Imaging Technician by profession but delights in sharing his passion for music as a form of social therapy. 

In addition to his Thursday entertainment in the park, Mr Frett and others play every Sunday at brunch at Village Cay and for approximately ten years now they have been entertaining and providing musical therapy for the elderly at the Adina Donovan Home. 

For Mr. Frett, this is his way of contributing to the tourism industry in the Territory. He sings as well as plays the keyboard.
