@naermc Im not disregarding pan at all it’s integral. Yeah I ain’t a pan man but I’m a mas man. So sorry I ain’t know BAS did that for Alyuh. But what I do know is carnival. More specifically the behind the scenes and organisation. Coz that’s what I was raised in so truss me I know
@naermc But there wasn’t any order! How u meannn last year there was people going from big sainsburys to Ladbroke Grove and vice verca some people ain’t even move and just post up and fete. Yess the pannist probably had procession but jouvert was anywhere on that road
@naermc Just saying that ain’t gonna be the reason, jouvert has never been regulated so it doesn’t get policed like carnival which means there’s no insurance of safety… and with everything that’s been happening in the past few days literally leading up to carnival it’s safer than sorry
@naermc There are sound laws at NHC in the morning so no big speaker is allowed to play music before 9am or some time like that. That’s why jouvert in the UK is prominently pan and rhythm section. Not because it was a competition that’s all I’m saying. Not disregarding your ting
@naermc Ohhh so it’s like an option/alternative then? Like if they can facilitate it then go ahead hmm okay but I don’t think that’s what’s stopped jouvert tbh. Jouvert isn’t regulated at all like carnival. You can just go on the road. That’s why besides from pan rhythm section is big
@naermc Okay I wouldn’t say a handful do panorama let be real more the majority does
And darling I could literally say the exact same thing about mas (and I’m talking proper mas) like if anything that’s the status quo for carnival Lool expensive and plenty forward planning
@naermc There are roughly 20 odd pan bands in the uk and only a handful do jouvert. Never officially always independently. Was this some independent scoring system those bands chose to do? Coz last time I check I the big competition for a pannist is panorama and that’s it
@naermc What ceremony is this? And who you playing with? Stardust? Endurance? Ebony??? Coz two out of the three I just stated only go on the road for jouvert because they don’t do panorama. Mangrove don’t even play on jouvert so who competing?? I suree they would if it was that
@naermc Well when it comes to “competition” because there’s no judging for anything at jouvert morning. Actually there no regulation so its ironic that “no official bands” is the reasoning when there was never anything to officiate. But steelpan has been integral for jouvert coz of sound
