With the creative sector growing at twice the rate of the economy over the last 10 years, the course will stimulate and nurture delegates, as well as prepare them to forge a career in the sectorWe wanted PACE to play a part in the success of small creative businesses by teaching skills which turn creative talent into commercial success, and were keen to create an environment for a Carnival Arts Degree in the City which was to become home to the National Carnival Centre. As a result we developed the "Routes to Carnival" module and delivered a 1st draft for a National Carnival Degree. Show less

In 1984 it expanded with the addition of a major event and London’s Crystal Palace Football Stadium before becoming a full international touring festival in 1985. The festival ran annually until 1996, with a final event in 1998, before it was revived in 2006.The Reggae Sunsplash festival was the brainchild of four Jamaicans - Tony Johnson, Don Green, Ronnie Burke and John Wakeling. The four founding directors created a company called Synergy Productions Ltd, which was responsible for promoting and producing the Reggae Sunsplash festival.The first Reggae Sunsplash festival was staged at Jarrett Park, Montego Bay, Jamaica in June 1978 and began at dusk and continued until dawn for seven days. It was billed as the "biggest Reggae festival in the history of the world". The festival introduced the concept of music and travel as a boost to tourism in Jamaica. Prior to the staging of Reggae Sunsplash, the hotels in Jamaica were traditionally closed during the summer period. The four founding partners staged the festival each year for a number of years and successfully created an annual summer tourist season in Jamaica. The success of Reggae Sunsplash led to a wave of annual music festivals in Jamaica and the Caribbean islands. The festivals popularity led to a shortage of hotel rooms and a tradition of camping out on local beaches.From 1981 the festivals were filmed and recorded, with several videos and albums released, the first being Reggae Sunsplash '81: Tribute to Bob Marley, released by Elektra Records. From 1987 the festival included a sound clash event, with finalists from a national sound system competition competing as a precursor to the rest of the festival. The festival also expanded to include an 'oldies night' featuring stars from past eras of Jamaican music. 2 Films and a plathora of videos, range of live music vinyl, tapes CDs Show less
