Ahead of the celebration of its third anniversary next month, the Frass Friday team marks a new milestone with the launch of its first radio programme on MAAD 97.5 FM next Friday. The radio programme comes at a time when the team has been significantly impacted by the pandemic.
Frass Friday was founded as a platform to promote up and coming Guyanese artistes. Prior to COVID-19, they met every Friday and rehearsed. Those considered to be among the top performers were allowed to go live on Facebook, while the best of the best made up the ‘Frass Friday Squad’. Singers on the squad had a sing-off on the last Friday of every month.
At the beginning of March last year, Frass Friday boasted 200 registered members. Today they have 22 active members. However, once the new programme goes on air, promoter and producer of Frass Friday, Jahmai ‘Jahie’ Charles is optimistic that many of these artistes will return and new aspiring singers will join the team.
