Trini, Madly, Deeply

Warrior Nation member, and Russell Latapy worshipper, Gary “Big Magician” Hector is on tour in the UK with his band jointpop. Here is some media coverage from their Speak Slowly Tour as the make their way from England to Scotland (current home of the Little Magician).
JOINTPOP will be the first rock band from Trinidad to tour Scotland and they just can’t wait. The band are aiming to follow in the footsteps of their pal and Trinidad’s top sports star, Falkirk and ex-Rangers football star Russell Latapy. Singer Gary Hector, 45, said: “Rock ’n roll is what turned us on, it made us pick up our instruments and make music.

“We’re pretty big in Trinidad but it’s a really small island, so we have to get out and show the world what we can do. “Rock ’n roll and indie music is still an underground thing here because you’re up against reggae and calypso. “So it was a big deal when a band like us got played on the radio and ended up on television.

Live Web Chat with Brent Sancho

Log on to thewarriornation.com on Wednesday July 9^th 2008 at 7 PM (EST) for a live WebChat with one of Trinidad and Tobago’s defenders, Brent Sancho. Considered by many in the T&T football fraternity as the missing piece in the puzzle that makes up the current T&T defensive line, Brent’s football career has been filled with all the makings of a graphic novel. From his troubled times at Gillingham FC to being blacklisted for his involvement in the impasse between the World Cup Warriors and the TTFF over unpaid bonuses, the controversial aspects of Sancho’s career may seem to have overshadowed the positive ones. However, in true Warrior fashion the 31 year old veteran defender has not let his negative experiences get the better of him and is fervently forging a path back to first team action for both Club and Country.

Big flag on display for T&T vs England

Despite some hiccups, the Warrior Nation's big T&T flag was displayed in all it's splendour at the game featuring Trinidad & Tobago and England. Once again it was featured on the front page of the Trinidad Guardian (June 2nd, 2008) as well as on page 5 of the same publication.

Dog on the Rock

In September 2007, I showed Marvin Andrews’ DVD, With God All Things are Possible, to my church's Youth Group. At the end of the viewing, I vowed to get Marvin to visit the Morvant Open Bible Church on the Rock and speak to the Youth Group the next time he was in the country. James 2:20 reads “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”. Using that as my impetus, I attempted to contact Marvin through the Raith Rovers Fan club, but I was put in touch with one of his associates. Funnily enough, the associate thought that I wanted a copy of the DVD. After correcting her assumption and making the request for Marvin's presence at the church, the waiting game began.
