All Stars Not Fifty Years Old

In this article, the writer disputes claims made that Catelli All Stars is celebrating its 50th anniversary. In the Sunday Guardian, October 13, Prince Baston, steelband historian and former leader of All Stars, wrote that while the band really began orderly organised in 1946, it really started nine or ten years before, around 1937. It is suggested that the Ministry of Culture get the correct story as to the origin and progress of the steelband.
