BRC Resetting Heartbeat

Nothing to shout about at first Cavalcade

IT WASN’T MUCH of a tantrum at last night’s first Cavalcade for 2012.  In fact, it was more of an anti-climax. 

The very talented Crimeson, who headlined the event was well received but he didn’t seem to keep the audience moving as we’ve seen him do at other events. Cropoverbarbados.com had heard that he was upset by comments allegedly made on Face Book questioning his presence at the show. When we spoke to him he said he had not seen the statements and therefore could not comment on them.   

1st Cavalcade tonight!!

THE FIRST CAVALCADE for the 2012 Crop Over season gets started at 7:00 tonight on the Briar Hall playing field.

Dubbed Youth Invasion, Episode 1 it is headlined by Crimeson & Gorg.

Log in and we will have all the pics.
