Three more major Crop Over bandleaders have joined the call for a two-day jump which they say can be beneficial to Grand Kadooment and tourism spend.
General manager at Aura Experience, Rondell Jones, managing director at Zulu International Inc, Jason Daniel and Vida by Esquire’s (VXE) bandleader, Ryan Forde, have lent their support to the recent suggestion by Avery Hackett, director of Krave The Band.
Hackett raised the matter at the band’s launch last Saturday.
“We have done the research. We’re in ten countries, so we see what the other countries are doing. We need to get Barbados as a whole to offer the two-day experience in some capacity. If the Government can’t do it, we as band owners should come together and facilitate that to make it happen because that’s what separates us,” he said.
Forde told the Weekend Nation that “something unique and different” could be done on the second day.
