Holders Season 2012: March 17th to 31st

Holders House is without doubt one of the many, quiet joys of Barbados' west coast.

A beautiful house poised elegantly above the coast line, looking almost wistfully out towards the Caribbean Sea.

But if the House for much of the year is a 'quiet joy', everything changes radically come March when the Holders Season kicks in - two weeks of fabulous artists celebrating all kinds of music and entertainment, much of it never previously seen or heard in the Caribbean, let alone Barbados.

Once again we look forward to a Holders Season that is rich in variety and almost overwhelmed by great talents - local and international.

It is hard to pick out the likely highlights as there are not intended to be any 'low-lights'(!), but make sure you don't miss the beginning or the end: Congo's Kanda Bongo Man will kick us off with an explosion of happiness from the African continent, whilst we finish with one of THE great cabaret acts currently on the world circuit, Ennio Marchetto.

There's no point in trying to describe him - you just have to see him!

Greetings once again and have a great time. That's what Holders is all about!
