THE SOL GROUP is on board as a sponsor of this year's Barbados Jazz Festival. "We are proud to be involved with the world-renowned Barbados Jazz Festival," said Mark Clarke, sales and marketing manager of Sol (Barbados) Limited. "It is one of the Caribbean's premier events and a world-class product, very much like Sol, which is a Caribbean organisation offering a global brand and operating to world-class standards." Clarke added: "We are also pleased to be associated with an event that enhances both Barbados' tourism and cultural products by bringing visitors to the island and enriching the cultural landscape." He noted that the company was particularly supportive of the work being done by the organisers, GMR International Tours, over the years to highlight local talent on the international stage. The 13th Barbados Jazz Festival starts on Monday and runs until January 15 with a line-up of artists that includes Jill Scott, Lionel Ritchie, Arturo Tappin, Boney James, Cuban Jazz All-Stars as well as local artists Artwork and Wayne Willock. "We are delighted to welcome The Sol Group on board," said Gilbert Rowe, organiser of the festival. "It is the support of companies like Sol that allows us to showcase the acts that will grace the stage of the Barbados Jazz Festival 2006." (PR)
