[UPDATE] Iwer: 'Sweet feeling' from Road March win

Neil “Iwer” George could not put into words yet what it felt like to be part of this year's winning Road March team, but he promised to say more at a press conference on Thursday.

Iwer is also this year’s Soca Monarch.

“It is a very sweet feeling. It is a feeling words cannot express,” he said on Wednesday.

Iwer and Kees Dieffenthaller won the Road March title with Stage Gone Bad. The song was played 386 times.

This is Dieffenthaller's first Road March title. He came second last year with Savannah Grass. Kes The Band won the International Groovy Soca Monarch title in 2011 with Wotless.

The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation (TUCO) announced the Road March results on Wednesday in a media release.

Iwer won his first Road March title in 2000 with Carnival Come Back Again, when he shared the title with Austin “SuperBlue” Lyons.

This year, Iwer is a part of both the first- and second-place winning teams. Conch Shell, featuring Iwer, Machel Montano and Vincentian Skinny Fabulous, placed second, after being played 95 times.

Nadia Batson’s Fatt came third, having been played nine times.
