Proceeds will be donated to The Grand Bahama Humane Society because it is very much needed and holds a special place for the two creators of the event, and as a community we need to come together to help the HSGB more!

Tip Burrows quoted, ” The HSGB is pleased to once again be working with Ashley Baker & Sean Johnson, were very grateful for the concern given by these young people, for our animals and appreciate all the support from the public as it is necessary in order for the HSGB to operate. We look forward to this event as it should be a great one.”

In hopes of refreshing Grand Bahamians with the art of literature and all its components, Grand Bahamian writers have come together to form The 2011 Poets & Writers Expose; a literary exhibition featuring the islands top authors and poets joining forces to spread the awareness of literacy.

Slated this Friday, March 25th at the Cultural Theatre which, is situated at the Freeport Harbour, the expose will showcase both veteran and amateur local poets and writers as they perform original pieces of work. The show will explore the art form of poetry, while also magnifying the dynamics of ‘Spoken Word.’

“There is so much joy in Spoken Word, Poetry and self – expression itself. This is just one avenue to glorify it,” explains Poets & Writers Expose Coordinator, Tamara Delaney. Delaney, a writer and poet, says that the expose is a way to circuit all variations of writing to the public while putting literacy back into the forefront, ” We know that technology is now driving the wheel of the future while literacy has taken the back seat and this is just one of the small ways we’re trying to change that factor,” she explains, “Grand Bahama has to be reminded that there is art and beauty in words too and this expose is the perfect liaison.”

With an all star line up of award-wining authors that includes Gea Pierre, Domek Rolle, Keva Wilchcombe, Yasmin Rigby-Popescu and The Poet’s Ink, Delaney says that the event is a reminder of the islands eminent talent. “This event features distinguished authors, poets and writers who are all among us,” she says, “This is a way to present our very own wealth of talent and to put Grand Bahama on the map by showing that we too carry a legion of brilliant writers.”

The expose also extends itself to amateur talent including open mic and an audio’s corner. The three-hour long expose is expected to cater to all forms of writing styles and poetry and hopes to become an annual endeavor. “This expose is not only meant to showcase literature but also to celebrate it,” says Delaney, “It is the essence of how we expressive ourselves and how we to relate to others and I think that makes it so important.”

It’s your time to shine! Bahamian artist from all backgrounds are now able to show off their talents at an amazing weekly event called “Open Mic.” This event is hosted by Skye, from Skyebox Entertainment and is sponsored by the Lioness Music Group.

Last night’s performances were fantastic as expected! Sherrol Rahming stole our hearts with her song: “Never know.” Leo Heart did a drum selection. There were freestyle performances by the following talented local artists such as Oddomatik, Tall B, BJ, Miz Bezzy, and Lil Freshy Prince of da Ghetto. Miss J sang her heart out during her smooth solo. The heat was on when Breez took the floor along with half of the roof with rap!

Last week was “off da chains” too! There were performances by: Jah Troy – Just can’t fail; Quilla Fang, Kegee Kid and Brick Taylor – Get wit me; Black Poet (Poetry); Tall B and more! Another hit performed was “Black and Yellow” by Jah troy, Skyy and Brezzy.

We asked Skye what inspired her to put on such an event especially on a weekly basis? Skye replied: “I have a passion for young people going in a positive direction and would like to offer them a place they can express themselves.”
