Barbados Jazz Festival goes social

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (BTA) -- Prospective patrons of the 17th Annual Barbados Jazz Festival, which takes place from January 11-17, 2010, can now post comments, receive live updates and more on Facebook.

The promoters, GMR International Tours, recently launched a dedicated page on the popular social networking site, which boasts over 35 million active daily users.

The festival continues to be promoted as the perfect escape from the winter blues, giving visitors and locals a chance to soak up the sweet sounds and sights at select venues across the sun-drenched island of Barbados.

This year’s festival will be headlined by 1970s Motown star Smokey Robinson, and will also feature a wide range of both contemporary and classic jazz vocalists including Etienne Charles, Babyface, Lalah Hathaway, Robin Thicke, Warren Hill and the Cuban Classics, among others.

Some of Barbados’ most picturesque and enchanting locations will provide the perfect backdrop for the festival including: the Sunbury Plantation House; Heritage Park/The Rum Factory; Garfield Sobers Complex; Illaro Court, St, Michael; and Farley Hill National Park
