🧐 I love Boxing but it seemed to me Delicious Orie was really hard done by there over the three rounds. I really felt for him. Some of the Olympic Boxing judging has been very questionable to say the least and not for the first time either… #Boxing  #Paris2024

What sad news. Dave Martins was a great song-writer, a wonderful person and a true son of #Guyana 🇬🇾. I feel lucky to have known him. His music and impact will live on. My thoughts are with his family. demerarawaves.com/2024/08/18/ren…

A ridiculously long time ago we ran a record label. & then nearly as ridiculously long ago, we threw a big party & closed it down - tough to do & probably not very fair on the bands - but ultimately right. Thanks to those of you who were there & helped make made it a great night!

In Nevis, I met Roma. One of the owners of the Cafe Des Arts. The flags outside the cafe were a dead giveaway! Happy to support a Guyanese business in Nevis #Nevis #cafedesarts #Guyana
