June 1, 2017

The countdown to Bermuda Heroes Weekend  [BHW] is on with less than 17 days to go until Carnival takes over the Island.

Five Star Friday is the opening event for the weekend and will feature Roy Cape All Stars. This year, Five Star Friday will be held at the National Sports Centre starting at 7pm.

Over the past three decades, the All Stars, under the direction of Roy Cape, has earned the reputation of being the most sought after brass band in recording studios, calypso shows, and major concerts, not just in Trinidad & Tobago, but throughout the Caribbean, The United States of America, Canada and Europe.
