Irvin Sweeney, known in the local calypso circles as King Sweeney has adopted the National FLOW Junior Calypso Monarch Competition for the next three (3) years. The proposal, which was submitted to the St Kitts Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKNNCC) includes trophies and cash prizes for the winners starting during Sugar Mas 51.
Mr. Sweeney, who was a major influence in the advent of the Junior Calypso Competition, stated, “I should quickly confess that although I had great success in competing from 1970 to 1983 for the Senior Calypso Monarch, my greatest satisfaction was my contribution to youth calypso, and being afforded the opportunity to pilot the introduction of the National Carnival Youth Calypso Competition in 1973”.
