Guardian Holdings Limited hosted its fifth Group Calypso Competition on Friday, January 21, 2005 at the Harvards Club.
The competition carried two categories, Chutney and Traditional and had participants from across the group. Carol Boissiere (A. Nonymous) copped the first prize in the Traditional catergory with 'Bligh in the Sky' and Brevard Nelson (Hot Bread Van) took away the Chutney prize with 'If SAT-HE and SEL-Los did mahred'. A Road March Champ was also pulled from among the traditional category which was won by Brevard Nelson.
The kasionians were back by the band D'Unit
The calypsoes were of a much higher standard this year even though the time for preparation was much shorter. The participants rehearsed for at least 3 nights to ensure that their final rendition was of a standard satisfactory to the respective competitor.
Judges were Peter Ray Blood, Robert 'Trini' Elias, Rodney Sayney, Allyson Browne and Carlyle Babb.
Guest artistes Iwer George, Bunji Garlin, Michelle Sylvester, KMC, Blackie and much more added to an already enjoyable evening.
