On De Scene: Fantasy Carnival Band Launch

Fantasy Carnival Band made their costume debut on Thursday night, unfornately I was unable to attend the launch. From all the whispers around town seems the launch was fairly alright and they have managed to steer people into their band considering they are a new band on the St. Lucia Carnival Scene.

Enuff with all this gossip , I was able to get my hands on a few of the costumes from the Launch courtesy Shane Larcher and from what I saw so far the headpieces are indeed on point! But I leave the rest of de costume for you to judge.

Enjoy and log onto their official website (FULL band photos should be up in the coming days)

(When the other bands websites launch I will ensure you get all de links)

Over the weekend Nurse Karen paid respect to Shane Larcher for giving his web audience a direct link to this blog. So I will in return tell you a little about his website and what he hopes to accomplish with it.

Years ago, searching for news on St.Lucia carnival would be an almost impossible task which ultimately affected our Mas significantly. Shane Larcher decided to launch his website http://www.slucarnival.com/ to give persons a direct link to what happening in St.Lucia for carnival : from de limes , de fetes , de events , de MUSIC and of course de Mas. This website has combined forces with most Band owners and promoters to give everyone near and far a clear idea of SLU Carnival 2009.

As de season heats up, be sure to keep in the know about what music making a real bachannal in St.Lucia with Nurse Karen.
