Entertainers call for answers
Article by June 12, 2021
Minister of Culture John King and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) Carol Roberts-Reifer have been called upon to explain why the local entertainment industry has not received any response to proposals submitted to resume events in the island.
The call came at a virtual meeting on Thursday night, hosted by the Entertainers Association of Barbados (EAB) and the Barbados Association of Event Professionals, when stakeholders were up in arms about authorities allowing a four-day event being marketed to tourists by international company Haywire Event, while events for locals were still restricted under the COVID-19 protocols.

As entertainers await word from Government on what this year’s
Crop Over season and fetes in general are to look like, two umbrella groups representing different segments of the industry have put forward several recommendations to the National Cultural Foundation (NCF).
The recommendations were recently submitted to the NCF on what they believe future events could possibly look like, the entertainment bodies told a panel discussion.
The development comes amid an industry call for greater unity to aid in their representation efforts and uncertainty over what role vaccination against the COVID-19 virus will play in the hosting of entertainment functions.

Some of this country’s entertainers have found themselves in dire financial straits as they endure 15-months of little to no economic activity.
Artistes, managers, and other stakeholders have painted a bleak picture of an industry, in which Government assistance has been modest as lending agencies relentlessly pursue them for outstanding bills.
There’s also growing concern in the industry about whether this year’s
Crop Over festival will be done in a way that can help make a dent in their increasingly dire financial situation.
