With big events like Panorama taking place in de Savannah, it seemed a bit unusual to be having other fetes on the same day. The promoters of Mc Leod's All Inclusive felt differently though as they hosted their fete down Chaguaramas at Pier 1 regardless.

Upon arrival TJJ saw the effects of this clash between big events. It was about 9 PM and a fete which started at 5 PM didn't ram out as yet. The folks that were present were in mellow spirits just socializing and enjoying the "Most Inclusive" atmosphere of tasty cuisine and premium drinks. Not too long after Blue Ventures with lead singers Knycky Cordner and Sanelle Dempster took the stage. They delivered quite an extensive and entertaining performance with the highlight being when Knycky buss her big song for 2K6 “Yuh Didn't Leave.” The crowd really got into the spirit of things with this one!

Maximus Dan and Iwer George also made big appearances during Blue Ventures performance and mashed things up as well. You gotta love Iwer's energy when he hits the stage with his massive TnT flag and shout out, "Trini this is Carnival ... and when yuh hear the party start ... WE REACH!!"

At about twenty to eleven the vibes of the fete drastically elevated as Machel Montano & Xtatik’s performance began. The front of the stage which was once free flowing and roomy, had now become quite compact and impassible as patrons clustered up stage-side Armed with balloons in an array of colours, they jumped and waved to Machel, Peter C, Farmer Nappy and even Allison Hinds as she made a short guest appearance. Real energy and vibes going on now! Big up to Zan and Partice Roberts making an appearance, delivering their loved 2006 hit "Always Be."

This was one fete which the TJJ crew couldn't stay until de end for though. With weariness setting in after a long day of attending several fetes, not mentioning the very thought of work early the next morning, we decided to punch in we time card and head on out. We definitely left folks partying hard as the hours on the clock turned from PM to AM. Trinis cud fete boy!!
