For the past three years, Mr. Sherlon (Lingy) Richardson has been working closely with the Atlanta Carnival Production(ACP) in conjunction with Atlanta Carnival Bandleaders Council(ACDC), in having an Anguillian Artist showcase and highlight Anguilla’s talent. Anguilla would be among numerous talents from around the Caribbean to be promoted on the streets of Atlanta.
Mr Richardson’s endeavour is fully supported by the Government of Anguilla, and the Anguilla Tourist Board, as it presents an opportunity to promote Anguilla and its carnival. To date, he has taken numerous artistes to perform. These included Corwin Carty and Lioness of the Movements Band, and Tyrone (Latest) Brooks of Exodus HD band.
This year he was able to get our former Miss Anguilla, Miss Shereena (SheaShea) Richardson of the PVI International Band, to be part of the activities and execute a performance. In addition, the ACP will be providing for a booth that will be used to promote and sell Anguilla’s paraphernalia.
In keeping with this opportunity, Mr. Jason (Doggy) Brooks would be travelling with the team as one of Anguilla’s ambassadors to assist with promoting Anguilla.
The team will be travelling to Atlanta to attend the activities which commence on May 28th, 2016. To add to their promoting of Anguillian designers, they will be travelling in a T-shirt, designed by Graphic Maddness, which displays their newly released logo which illustrates “DEGREES” which is a patriotic statement that lets everyone know where you can find Anguilla.
Mr Richardson would like to thank the Government of Anguilla, the Anguilla Tourist Board and Omega Car Wash for their continued support as they see it as a great outlet to promote Anguilla to various people around the world.
