‘We are keeping money in the country’ – Paul ‘Gadiethz’ Peart
Around this time there are usually a number of other groups, promoters and organizations that stage activities of an entertainment nature with the intention of making the dollar, drawing the masses to their venue and ultimately giving persons a welcoming break into the New Year.
“I do believe, like I said before, people still have the opportunity of doing what they are accustomed to doing…but change is good… we try to set a pace coming into 2015 and like the Messenger said there is no other place to be because the upliftment that you are going to get at this venue (Multi Purpose Sports Complex December 31, 2014) is where you want be…,” said President of the GRATE BVI Music Alliance Mr Eustace ‘Boss’ Freeman.
Freeman also said that in addition to other traditional events that take place around this time, everyone is going to get their fair share, “But I am encouraging persons to come to this event.”
He further said that the local organization is not just about the platform event but they are about satisfying the need of unifying entertainers for the growth in the music industry in the VI. “We see the need to … try to set everybody along the right path and build an industry where it could be something great for everybody and I wouldn’t say the energy is great only in the Alliance but the energy is great in the whole BVI,” add Mr Freeman.
He responded to the much touted notion propelled by many that for a good show with an international artiste such as Luciano to make the hit, an international band is necessary. He said that the members of the GRATE BVI Music Alliance dismiss that notion as they said that they have proven it not to be so and will be backing up Luciano and the other entertainers of the night.
Paul ‘Gadiethz’ Peart of the Alliance said that while they are confident in the ability of the local band to perform at a high level the other thing of key note is that they are keeping the money in the Territory.
