BVI Music Festival 2012 Features Grammy Award-Winning Artist and Cane Garden Bay Setting Three-Day Music Festival Returns to the Beach with Diverse Lineup of Stars

The British Virgin Islands Tourist Board is pleased to again support BVI Music Fest, which will be held over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-27) and will feature a wide range of musical stars. For the first time in several years, the much-anticipated festival will be moving back to the sandy white beaches of Cane Garden Bay, and bringing with it some exciting changes and an array of big-name performers. Grammy Award-Winning R&B singer Estelle will headline the show, along with reggae group Third World Band and the classic group Forever Motown. Local performers will round out the lineup of artists for the three days and nights of music, food, dancing, and entertainment.

The festival will feature soca and calypso on Friday night, reggae and hip hop on Saturday, and R&B and soul on Sunday. Jazz and fungi music also will be highlighted on side stages, as well as an offering of kids’ activities, food, parties, and all-around good times in an ideal island setting. “We look forward to welcoming visitors to the 2012 Music Festival,” said Ms. Malcia Smith Hamilton, Acting Director of the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board. “Our pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise waters provide a perfect backdrop to this exciting annual event. We hope that music-lovers, families and travelers alike will join us in the BVI for Memorial Day weekend this year and experience all the BVI has to offer.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
