Bermuda Music Festival
The Bermuda Music Festival kicked off its 13th year on Wednesday 1st October and ran for 4 days. The festival showcased local musical talent as well as celebrating Bermudian cuisine and culture from its unique cultural mix of islanders who make up Bermuda’s 400 year old history.
Hosting the festival this year was the American Morning show host and radio personality, Steve Harvey. Among the big ticket names who took to the stage towards the end of the festival were one of the most beloved and classic R&B vocal groups from the 60’s, The Whispers. Also appearing and currently on tour in the States were British reggae stalwarts, UB40 who played at the Bermuda National Stadium on the 3rd October. With a unique vocal style of his own, the soul singer Aaron Neville supported by Alicia Keyes and The Aaron Neville Quintet performed on the last day of the festival.
Beyoncé also performed at the National Sports Centre on the 2nd October. I’m not sure if any of you saw this but Evian published a great competition on YouTube for tickets to see Beyoncé at the Bermuda Music Festival!!! The the lucky winners are jetting off to Bermuda! Hopefully there will be another competition next year so keep your eyes posted!
