Alison Hinds to 'Roll It' at All-Island Carnival

The timeless Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds, will ignite the stage at the LIME All-Island Carnival when it brings the energy of soca to Montego Bay tomorrow.

This, the sixth leg of the roving soca fete, will be staged at the Vegas Flamingo in the Blue Diamond Plaza.

Tristar Entertainment, the promoters of the LIME-title-sponsored series, promises Montego Bay a real treat. Marvin Lawrence, one of the three directors of Tristar Entertainment, said that his group was, in fact, partnering with Vegas Flamingo to make the event a reality.

"We are partnering with the Vegas Flamingo team, and one of the most significant things to note is that this event is completely free," Lawrence remarked.

Lawrence said that the partnership was necessary to ensure that Montegonians got a true taste of carnival, which is the main focus of the LIME All-Island Carnival.

This is a vision shared by the Vegas Flamingo lounge.

"Alison Hinds embodies the spirit of carnival, so it is only fitting that we would have her perform on the LIME All-Island Carnival stage. And where better to have her, but in the beautiful city of Montego Bay and at the Vegas Flamingo gaming lounge," Lawrence gushed.

Specifically, patrons will gather on the 40,000-square-foot rooftop space of the Vegas Flamingo, overlooking the sparkling city.

Alison Hinds is the singer of the ubiquitously popular soca anthem Roll It Gyal. She is a mainstay in the world of soca music and will bring her special brand of entertainment to the event dubbed 'Socamania'.

The 'big-bumper' Hinds will share the stage with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires and Tanto Blacks.

LIME All-Island Carnival, Montego Bay, happens on the heels of the Negril instalment of the event.

The travelling Carnival has also been held in St Thomas, Portland, and St Andrew, with Linstead, Ocho Rios, May Pen and St Elizabeth still on the schedule.
