Hon. Lindsay Grant, Mr. Fanon Lawrence and Mr. Adrian Lamb
At a special St Kitts Music Festival press conference put on by the Minister of Tourism Hon. Lindsay Grant and aired on national radio on Thursday morning, a partial list of artistes performing on the 2015 SKMF was revealed.
Minister Grant welcomed the media in attendance and signaled that the music festival is an important facet of the SKN tourism product, providing an incentive for people to come to St.Kitts at a time when tourism was slow. With the CPL coming on the heels of the music fest the invitation was made to come for the SKMF and stay for CPL 20/20 Cricket.
Present at the head table in addition to Minister Grant was the Chairman of the SKMF, Faron Lawrence and Technical Director Adrian Lam. Here is the partial SKMF 2015 names announced:
