You are speaking about something you know nothing about.

Also, relevant to whom?

Besides, if ACBDA wished to bring in internationally well-known performers, they’d surely do so and have ‘The Band’ supplement them where required.

But hey we know the narrative by now (i.e. all OBA is bad).

We need to be real about “local talent.” It isn’t particularly good. More of an anomaly in Bermuda than a norm.

What the Americas cup has done for our youth alone, two presently in New Zealand competing all expenses paid\e, by who, Americas Cup. This is going to be a band coming together specifically for this why not just wish them luck and stop being so negative. You really must be a very unhappy person.

This has nothing to do with the OBA – as that party has nothing to do with the selection of artists who will perform at the America’s Cup…come on people, seriously!?

For God’s sake….you’re always looking for some kind of hand out.

Why? Is that somehow a bad thing?

The bars and pubs aren’t really interested, sadly.

Why…what do you think should happen?

ACEA then just took it up a notch by inviting all Bermuda residents to vote on our talent – very inclusive and participatory.

Thank you ACEA.

You are providing yet another platform to showcase and host our Bermuda talent while showing us at our best to each other and the world.

Since this is an ACEA event, let them get first crack at the bands/singers then offer others not selected by ACEA a chance somewhere else.
