20 June 2008 The Dragon Passes Vincentians this week were thrown into shock with the news of the passing of Roy Ralph, "The Dragon". "Draggie", as he was known to many, was one of St. Vincent's premier mas men, and a major influence on many of today's mas designers and builders. On behalf of Blondie Bird and Friends, and De Revellers, we would like to extend sympathies to all of his family and close friends for whom his passing must be so difficult. May The Dragon Rest In Peace.

Check out Blondie with one of his Satellite costumes on display. 13 March 2008: Car Park Party: In an effort to continue to raise funds, Blondie Bird and Friends will be having a carnival party at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Carpark on Sunday 16 March. Music will be by Two Kool Chris and the bar will ice cold. Come and see what our costumes will look like this year! 2 March 2008: Barbecue: The band held a fund raising barbecue on Back Street opposite Heritage Square on Friday 29 February. Things started out a bit slowly, but by the end of the evening, Garth and Blondie were in ripping form, and not even the sprinkles from heaven could have dampened the enjoyment of the event. Keep posted for the next event! 11 February 2008: Band Launching: The band launching was held at the Chamber of Commerce Carpark in Kingstown on Sunday 10th February. The costumes received high praise from many of the visitors to the venue, and with the music flowing from Two Kool Chris, and the bar doing a swinging trade, it was disappointing when the fete was brought to a close at 11:15 p.m. Blondie has vowed that we will go back and do it again, since the first installment turned out to be such a pleasurable event.
