TIDCO launches Pan Yard Sensation

The Tourism Industrial Development Company (TIDCO) in collaboration with Pan Trinbago launched its Pan Yard Sensation at the Neal and Massy Trinidad All Stars Pan Yard, Duke Street, Port-of-Spain on Saturday evening.

The launch featured music by Neal and Massy All Stars and Laventille Pashponics who played to a very appreciative audience made up of members of the Neal and Massy family and pan lovers. Before the sound of steel got going, there were addresses by Pan Trinbago president Patrick Arnold, Tidco’s chairman Brian Harry and the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Pennelope Beckles. Also present were Minister Eddie Hart, NCC’s Ainsworth Mohammed, chairman of Pan Trinbago’s Northern Region, Keith Diaz, and Clary Benn of the Unit Trust Corporation. Pan Yard Sensation proved to be just more than pan as both steel orchestras featured members of their community in song and dance. Pashponic featured the Laventille Warp Crew dancers while All Stars featured Malick Folk Perform-ers. Our photographer was on hand at “Hell Yard” on Duke Street and captured these highlights.
