Fay-Ann, Bunji Get Candid With Nick Bright of BBC1Extra

What’s a Carnival in London without an interview on the dynamics of Carnival with two of Trinidad and Tobago’s most embraced soca artistes? Well, Nick Bright of BBC1 Extra wasn't about to let the opportunity pass him by so with Fay-Ann Lyons and Bunji Garlin in his territory on the weekend. Bright took the chance to quiz them both on a number of things, even how Nottinghill carnival compares to carnivals around the world.

With several of T&T’s entertainers and radio DJs in the mix in the UK, the vibe at the 2013 Nottinghill Carnival is similar to that of other carnivals that have branched out from the mecca- T&T’s carnival, no doubt. Fay-Ann and Bunji Garlin performed at Fire Fete on the night prior to the interview and Bunji described the venue as ‘rammed out’… he then had to correct himself, realizing the audience that would have been listening to him. “Crazy, the place was ram packed… oh sorry, for those of you who don’t know what ram is, the place was packed..,” he said with a bit of humour. Fay-Ann then joined in, expressing that the venue was in fact filled to capacity.

Ambassadors of the Trini carnival, the Trinbago way of life and the culture, much like many of the country’s other entertainers, Fay-Ann and Bunji spoke about the food of T&T, letting it be known that when they travel, one of the things they miss most about back home is the local cuisine. Fay-Ann even dodged a little ‘entrapment’ by her BBC1Extra host, kicking into judicial gear and letting it be known that she does in fact enjoy the Trini-like/Caribbean-like cuisine that’s available in those parts.
