On Thursday May 21 Mr Corwin Carty, aka Bookie, lead vocalist of De Movements Band (DMB) traveled to Atlanta for their carnival festivities.
All of this was made possible with the connection of Mr Sherlon Richardson and the Festivals Committee of Atlanta. Over the years, Sherlon has managed to get some other artistes from Anguilla to participate, and this year Mr Carty will be representing our beautiful island of Anguilla. But this year it’s going to be different as Bookie stated that he’s travelling with a few musicians as he prefers the live feel of a musical band rather than singing on music tracks.
Accompanying him is Mr Nicholas Nick Nick Romney of (DMB) on bass guitar from and Mr Patrick Pat2 Williams on keyboards from another musical group, the Infusion Band. He also stated that he has a local drummer by the name of Ras Jay Brooks, who resides in Atlanta, and they’ll meet up with him in Atlanta.
Bookie will be performing on two gigs: the Calypso Competition on Friday May 22 at 2935 N Decatur Rd, Decatur GA 30033; and then on Saturday, at Festivals Village on the big stage @ Mozley Park 1565 Martin Luther King Drive NW, Atlanta GA 30314.
This trip was made possible by the Anguilla Tourist Board and some local sponsors, fans, friends and family, and for that we are so grateful that we will repay them by representing Anguilla well.
