BRADES, Montserrat – Calypso Finals, both the queen and teen pageants and the highly anticipated show with Alison Hinds, Edwin Yearwood and the new University of Soca will be some of the events to be streamed for Montserrat’s ArrowFest 2010.

According to Director of Information & Communications Nerissa Golden, the Office of the Chief Minister has sponsored the streaming of festival on www.zjb.gov.ms, live from the Montserrat Cultural Centre. This service is provided through the Department of Information Technology and eGovernment Services (DITES) in collaboration with several private entities.

“We have a large number of nationals and friends of Montserrat abroad who enjoy watching the annual celebrations online,” Golden said. “Every December many residents who left after the volcanic eruptions began or even prior to those events return to the island for this major festival. For those who cannot, several of the top shows can be viewed on ZJB Radio Montserrat’s website. The Office of the Chief Minister is happy to be a part of enabling the Diaspora to stay connected to their homeland during this time of year.
