‘Main Course’ event to conclude St Lucia Food and Rum Festival

The St Lucia Food and Rum festival comes to an end of Sunday with the Main Course event at the Pigeon Island National Park.

The event will feature sampling booths from some of the island’s best restaurants, as well as the finale competition of the Chairman’s Reserve Spiced Rum cocktail competition.

Headlining is four-time Grammy nominated and American Music Award-winning recording artist Freddie Jackson.

After almost four decades in the music industry, Jackson is still upholding his buzz with fans and promoters around the world.

His debut album Rock Me Tonight topped the R&B album chart and went platinum, spending six weeks at number one.

Freddie also went platinum on his sophomore album Just Like The First Time, with his singles Tasty Love, Have You Ever Loved Somebody and Jam Tonight all number one hits.

Also taking the stage at the festival will be St Lucia’s own Teddyson “TJ” John.

Teddyson created a paradigm shift in St Lucia’s entertainment scene with his performances and vocal prowess.

TJ has continued to excel in the studio and on stage with a catalogue of hits wooing fans and supporters locally and beyond our shores.

He has opened for headline performers such as Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle and George Duke, John Legend, and many others.

In 2007, TJ embraced the soca music genre and was crowned St Lucia’s first ever Groovy Soca Monarch.
