The Little Carib Theatre, under the patronage of Peter Minshall, will present pan maestro Len “Boogsie” Sharp in concert on Friday August 10 and Saturday August 11 at the theatre, White and Roberts Streets, Woodbrook.

A master composer and arranger, Boogsie has been hailed as the “Mozart of Pan”, the Michael Jordan of the Steelpan and honoured with the title of Cultural Ambassador (2000). He has also been awarded with the Chaconia Silver Medal (1988) and the Hummingbird Gold Medal (2009) for his contribution to the artform.

“Boogsie” has amazed audiences around the world and for two days he will serenade and woo audiences with his repertoire of compositions, backed by an all-star band – Clifford Charles, Douglas Redon, Richard Joseph and Kenneth Clarke.

The night only gets sweeter with special guest performance by renowned pannist and pioneer in pan music, Ray Holman.

In the words of Errol Skerritt, Boogsie is “the most versatile and gifted performer of our national instrument!”

This event is one of many fund-raiser initiatives put on by the management of Little Carib Theatre.

Concert time is 8 pm.
