THE LATE JOSEPH NILES has not been forgotten by “tomorrow’s stars”.

The iconic Barbadian gospel singer was rousingly remembered in song by students of St Philip Primary School when the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation recently held one of its lunchtime concerts at Emerald City, Six Roads, St Philip, as part of Education Month.

With its theme Exploring The Creative Talent Of Tomorrow’s Stars, the concert featured performances in song, dance and drama from both primary and secondary schools from the eastern part of the island. The offerings were well appreciated by the many shoppers who were on hand to cheer on the different acts.

The St Philip Primary School group performed Walking Up The King’s Highway, I Know Where I Am Going, This Train and others from Niles’ groundbreaking danceable repertoire.
