Chutney mover and shaker Nirmal “Massive” Gosein plans to dedicate the 2007 launch of his Roving Chutney Calypso Tent in honour of Culture Minister Joan Yuille-Williams.

Massive paid a visit to the Guardian Central Bureau over the weekend to announce plans for the fifth anniversary celebrations of the tent.

He said despite the trials and tribulation and the lack of support for his tent when it got started, the tent has taken on national appeal. Gosein said through the help of the Yuille-Williams and her ministry the tent has been able to get much needed sponsorship which gave a lot of new artistes much needed exposure.

Adding that he is also grateful to the media, the affable impresario said: “The media has supported the tent since its inception and has given us a lot of much needed exposure, so I must convey my thanks to all the media practitioners.”
