CROWD:
Half the Bim Soca Junkie population turned up on Sunday fuh Soca on De Hill at Farley Hill National Park, to enjoy an entire day a hard core SOCA, through sun and rain.
By the end most went home muddier than J'Ouvert! Was great! haha.
VENUE/ACCESSIBILITY:
The venue is perfect fuh a concert which is why Reggae on De Hill was der in April. With the performers on a stage on the lowest ground and people risin up on the hilly slopes around, everyone had a great view of the performances.
Any problem?! Other than Farley Hill being so damn far to drive to without directions, nah jus as well Bim so small!
VIBES:
There was a good atmosphere in the crowd from hard core fettin at the front to the more laid back winers at the back. It wasn't too packed either which was a shock - guess the rain washed away a lot a potential attendees.
The acts were great, with some a the acts interspersed wit DJ's etc, was great, just one issue....WHY DE HELL PUT DE HEAD LINE ACT ON 1ST??!?!!!!
Destra was one a the first and most anticipated acts to see and she went on real early much to the disappointment of most people who bought tickets, who turned up on Bajan time - about 2hrs late.
A lot a people were disappointed, myself included.
The other headline acts who stole the show included Lil Rick, Krosfyah, Alison Hinds, Square one, Peter Ram, Mikey, Tallpree, Patch and Mr Dale!
FOOD/DRINKS:
Food and drink was available throughout the event, whilst VIP ticket holders were given tickets and wrist bands for their complimentary food and drinks.
SERVICE:
Service was fairly fast, but then the crowds were a manageable size.
COST/VALUE:
Early bird tickets were available for an affordable $40 and last minute purchasers had to pay $70BBD. With the exception of the disappointment of missing Destra it was a great line up of all the top acts for Kadooment this year, so money well spent!
