Greenz Jam: Black Out Fete  – Saturday 19th April 2014

The Black Out Fete started of slow, but the pace and numbers picked up steadily, the vibe inside was good and ready to pump. Majority if not all of the crowd participated with the black out theme (which was great to see).

The DJ’s on rotation had the crowd engaged and moving by playing a range of music, definitely something for all, with number of prize giveaways for the successful participants in over the mic, challenges and questions.

Bacchanalia Band Launch  – Saturday 19th April 2014

Bacchanalia’s theme for Notting Hill Carnival 2014 is Presence of the Past. In-keeping with celebrating 50 years of Notting Hill Carnival Bacchanalia has taken their mas back to the early days of mas with the Midnight Robbers and Fancy Indians to name a few.

A Bacchanalia band launch is always one of the most anticipated launches for the season. They have high standards which they have to live up to.

I really like the costumes but don’t take my word for it. Take a look through all the pictures and decide for yourself.
