Next Generation steel band came on at 1.30pm and gave a very lively performance followed by CSI Steel band from London who had around 30 youngsters playing the pans which was good to see, last band on was Ipswich youth steel band with T-Bone and his youth giving a strong performance.live Pa by Likkle Melody was welcome as we needed some reggae to break it up, and he put on a good show performing his hit tune ‘Lesson I Have Learned’ Head liner for the day was international soca singer Lima Calbio who got the crowd rocking performing some of her hit songs like ‘Water Me Garden’ dress all in black waving her flag she received a big welcome. Lime also did a Miss Tiney Winey dancing contest that was won by Ipswich dancehall queen champion ‘Kayla’.
