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.
