Hey Guys sorry for my late entry of this long over due blog of D' Lime 2015.
Now again I've said this over and over in a previous blog from Murphy's Law "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
I am all for good solid events, but then again, I know also that mistakes will be present, check this: " There is no perfect event", expect to have flaws.
As for Divine Connection International, I must congratulate the management and committee members, for putting on a pretty ok show, I know the work wasn't easy and there is a-lot of unforeseen things that may had happen. Therefore congrats guys hope to experience an even better event in 2016.
For my take as well as for the word on the ground, the show wasn't a 10 year celebration, it wasn't a celebrated event as it should of being....my opinion, if was to be a block party well, kudos that was accomplished. But as for a elevated,signature event no.....OMG...NO.
One thing I am learning in promoting events of that nature is to concentrate on your venue, your lights and most of all your sound system, Yes People!!! the SOUND SYSTEM and (the crowd goes wild......roarrrrrrrrrrrrrr) ........ in my view the sound system could of being ok in its own right, like having the the best equipment, but not everybody who owns a sound system, does not necessarily mean they know how to operate it. When you have a bag ah man behind the console operating, how come you could have a perfect sound? added to that you have artistes coming from all over to be a part and they're frustrated on stage......Big mistake No.1....your invited guest always have to feel comfortable, no dispute about that. (Stand to be corrected). I must say the artistes who came to be a part was very much uncomfortable, sorry to say, but that alone could damage the franchise of what the event suppose be. #BacktotheDrawingBoard
Next,....I don't know if some people are into this event promoting for a fame or for name calling, cause you can't tell me you are video recording a show and you have people who is not a part of the band, walking up and down the stage while artists on stage, for e.g It have an alleged episode where one of our very own Tobago-gospel minister, on stage with a full band, and you have the Djs and supposedly sound tech fixing and doing stuff on stage..... oh come on, people you suppose to know better than that, next big mistake, utter disrespect, people a artiste will like to feel comfortable so he/she could deliver a solid performance/ministry, All that movement on stage ain't call for.
As for the turn out, the obvious is that, it is independence night and the culture of our people around that time could be predicted, therefore the promoter and committee of the event need to just concentrate on giving the masses a good show, which is dealing with your sound, lighting and making sure your artist is taken care of, again if I am wrong correct me. I really hope for a standard risen event in 2016, and don't be afraid to ask for help from other gospel promoters. The mind set of "You Feel you Know everything" is serious nonsense, We need to step away from that. The people love the event but if you side stepping in not delivering what you think going to happen? Questions asked. #NoLoveLost #Ihope #smile
Now for the performances, even if the artistes came to deliver because of, it was not so. so in all in all. #Hurryupandfixit #for2016.
