The Mas fraternity in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is mourning the loss of a cultural giant, cultural icon, leader of the SVG Players International Mas Band and Cultural Ambassador, Julian ‘Peling’ Pollard.
Former Minister of Culture, Rene Baptiste says Pollard’s death is a great loss to the cultural community.
Baptiste says Pollard was far more than just a designer of costumes because he was very multi-talented and an integral part of National Development.
Baptiste says Pollard was a rare gem and has recommended that a scholarship be named to honour his memory..
