Article on the Anguilla Show

There’s an article in the St. Maarten Daily Herald on Monday on the Anguilla show: "Hundreds attended Jimmy Buffett show" page 1 and page 2 (thanks to murPH and gregb)

ANGUILLA – Described as the “ultimate Jimmy Buffett location” by many fans, the concert at The Dunes Preserve last Saturday was a great success. The large crowd in attendance would indicate that the nearly 4,000 ticket purchasers were there having arrived by ferries from St. Martin to Blowing Point. Many traveled on private yachts, large and small, and some on private jets into Wallblake Airport. It was the largest international concert held in Anguilla with the majority of the audience coming from overseas.

The show included songs by Bankie Banx, who organized the event, but mostly it was Jimmy Buffett all the way with his Coral Reefer Band and his back-up singers.

His many parrot heads were there in colourful outfits and appreciative of the Caribbean setting, the palm trees and amazing atmosphere at the Dune that was perfect for Buffet’s music.

A young man from Hawaii played the ukulele with the steel pan player and was very well received by the audience.

The large crowd was well behaved and some even climbed into the trees in an effort to see and hear all that was taking place. A long time fan of Buffett was heard remarking that this was the “best concert ever” and he had attended nearly all during the last 20 years.
