Thank you to the Public Transport Service Commission (PTSC) for, of their own volition, providing FREE shuttles from City Gate and San Fernando to our concerts in Trinidad. Your initiative was truly appreciated.

Thank you to the dedicated Staff of the Office of the President who planned and executed the series.
MOST OF ALL, thank you to our audiences, the music-loving people of Trinidad and Tobago who turned out in bigger and bigger numbers at each concert, those who brought their own chairs and picnic blankets, those who danced, chipped and sang along, those who took advantage of the aforementioned PTSC shuttles to bring out their grannies, grandpas and kids, the lady in the multi-coloured Crocs who attended in both POS and Sando, (yes, we saw you!), those who viewed it on television or online, who commented and/or shared our posts on social media, to each and every one of you THANK YOU.
