ALL STARS CALYPSO TENT
CROP OVER 2015
BIOGRAPHY:
All Stars Calypso Tent emerged when two tents clashed namely Conquerors Calypso Tent and Klass Kaiso. The synergy was so great further discussion and deliberation brought this show to fruition.
The tent was originally managed by Mr Vere Browne with other directors on board. Ian Estwick, Cicely Spencer-Cross, John King, Elson Harewood and Eleanor Rice.
Lots of changes brought Eleanor Rice to the fore and from 2008 she has managed with her own unique style. With that change of management came lots of additions and innovation for the calypsonians, care and dedication to the calypso artform. Steps to follow a success path. In the first year of management Adrian Clarke took the 2008 title of Calypso King. This was the first year the show was being held at Kensington Oval.
Over the years All Stars has consistently been represented at the Pic-o-De-Crop Semi-finals and Finals. Sending as many as seven (7) into the Semi-finals and five into the Finals.
In 2014 a dramatic change of calypsonians saw that change as being a positive move and again six (6) calypsonians excelled and represented at the Pic-o-de-Crop Semi-finals. Of these six David ‘Kid Site’ Piggott, Ronnie ‘De Announcer’ Clarke, Aziza Clarke, Miguel White, Anique ‘Cher’ Herbert and Donella Weekes. The latter two gracing the semis stage for the first time.
As time passes these calypsonians shall put some heat under all other finalists.
For 2015 it’s show time. This year we shall offer two (2) cruises as door prizes to our patrons along with all our sponsors’ gifts.
