Monarchs lead pack

A battle of the royals will take place next week Friday at the mecca of cricket, Kensington Oval.
It was set up after three calypso kings in the August 3 Pic-O-De-Crop Finals pulled one, two, and three spots yesterday evening when the nine finalists and reigning Calypso Monarch Popsicle met at the National Cultural Foundation to draw for positions.
Gabby will be the first on stage, followed by Popsicle and then Red Plastic Bag.
The artistes made jokes about the running order and many declared that they were pleased not to have been in the top three.
