“NEW FACES IN THE PROFESSIONALS 2010 LINEUP!”

“Rajiman” (Roger Gibbs) and “Lady Pearl” (Sheila Bereteron) and the “Calypso Crooner” have all opted out of calypso this year and the veteran, “Smokey Burke” and Soca Artiste “Nikki” (Nikeisha Toussaint) Have joined us!” announced the producers TLK, as they un-veiled the new 2010 lineup of Calypso Stars who will take centre-stage at The Professionals Calypso Tent when they open their doors on Saturday June 5th at 8.00 p.m at the Steelworkers Union Hall, 25 Cecil Street in downtown Toronto.

The Professionals Calypso Tent Music Series will be fielding a very powerful cast this year featuring several of Canada’s top Calypso stalwarts. “Jayson” (John Perez) is Canada’s Juno Award Winner for Calypso, a former 4-time Monarch and top Calypso lyricist. “Beginner” (Michael Moore), is the nephew of the late great Lord Beginner after whom he took his sobriquet, and who still holds the record for having won the crown here five times. “Macomere Fifi” (Eulith Tara Woods), is Canada’s Calypso Queen and winner of several other monarch titles including twice here. “D Juiceman”(Dick Lochan) placed 2nd in the 2010 Central Trinidad (Couva) Monarch Finals and sings with Kaiso Showcase Tent in T&T.

“PanMan Pat” (Pat McNeilly), is a former 2-time Calypso Monarch here. “Naki” (Nzunaki Tuitt) is a former Junior Calypso Monarch (South Trinidad) and finalist here and “Pensioner”(Kenny Quammie) has previously made it to the finals.

Newcomers “Smokey Burke”, is a true Veteran in the entertainment business and a very versatile performer and “Nikki” (Nikeisha Toussaint) is a young and vibrant soca princess.

Dick Lochan will take over the MC duties and the cast will once again be all backed by The SOCA BUNCH BRASS BAND led by Michael “Skel” Redhead and the Professionals Back Up singers and the music and sound will be handled by Dubble Impack.
