Gearing up for JOY + FIRE

It's that time again, when lovers of Trini music – particularly rapso – and those looking for something a little different from the fetes and monarch competitions that abound this time of year flock to 3canal's hit carnival presentation.

This year, the show takes the name of the band's brand spanking new album, JOY+FIRE, and plays at Queen's Hall with previews from the 12th to the 21st of February.

And after a month of being on the road and hopelessly poor at blogging, I've finally posted excerpts from Discover T&T's interview with Wendell and Roger from the end of December, as they talk about the album, the show and the jouvay (a 10-minute version is also available on YouTube, as Discover and MEP test the podcasting/multimedia waters!):
