Carnival Committee Addresses Heckling
ZIZ News — The carnival committee is concerned with taunting that takes place while artistes are performing on stage at carnival events.
Chairman of the carnival committee Sylvester Anthony said the committee, in response to such incidents would take whatever measures are necessary to protect the calypsonians when they are performing.
The chairman says there have been some recent incidences where people have been using this avenue to express their political views in relations to what the calypsonians are singing.
