THE 10 finalists in the Jamaica Festival Song Competition are currently on an islandwide roadshow which began yesterday.
“The Festival Song 50th Anniversary Roadshow will not only give the finalists a chance to perform live for audiences across the country, but will also give the public a chance to learn the winning songs,” said Stephen Davidson, director of marketing and public relations at the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission.
