I heard that Mics cousin Sasha was planning to put together a band for Huddersfield Carnival called Majestic Mas a few months ago. So I asked if I could join as Mics and May May were going to perform already. I had never played at a carnival before and I have always wanted to perform.
So Sasha and her family started to create the costumes for us, working tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect. The theme for this was Black Panther Children of T’Challa. I was immediately sold with this as I’ve always been a massive fan of comic book superheroes and this felt natural for me.
So it came to the week of the carnival and I was feeling so nervous about playing in front of such big crowds. But I didnt want to let Sasha down as I fully support what she was doing. I tried my costume on and it felt amazing on me.
On Friday night before carnival me and my family went to a Glow street party, which is the night before the big day. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and music that they played. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it really helped me to get rid of my nerves. After this I felt ready for carnival.
The big day came and we all made our way into town to join the parade. You could sense the anticipation in the air as the crowds began to gather.
Once the procession started it was so exhilarating as i was feeding off the energy from the music and the band. I didnt feel embarrassed at all it was such a special feeling playing in front of the crowds and the good vibes it brings with it. Everyone looked like they really enjoyed themselves.
I have to say Sasha did a fantastic job putting all of the costumes together and she is really great at what she does. It was a pleasure playing for Majestic Mas and im so glad that I did it.
