JIMMY DAN must be fancying his chances to land a semi-finals spot in this year’s Pic-O-De-Crop competition following his performances on Monday night when House of Soca faced the judges.

Dan (Daniel Borman) is an experienced performer. This year he had some ideas and concepts and teamed up with Eric Lewis, that savvy songwriter, for Shaft, which played on Isaac Hayes’ 1971 hit song and the movie by that name.
Dressed like the movie character for his stage appearance, he was an attention getter, as was the focus in the actual song. (ES)
