Get ready for T-Connection RELOADED: May 18th, 2012
Nassau, Bahamas - Paragon Concierge and Event Management presents
T-Connection Reloaded 2012 at the Nassau Wyndham Resort Crystal Palace
Ballroom on
Friday, May 18th.
T-Connection are a funk and disco group
from Nassau, the Bahamas, who
scored two major hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1977 and 1979.
T-Connection has performed on American Bandstand, Soul Train, Top of the
Pops, TV specials with the Bee Gees, Donna Summers, Village People and
others. They were especially large on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play
chart, where
they scored five Top 10 hits, including, "Do What You Wanna Do", which
hit #1 and was nominated for a Grammy as top dance song of the year in
1977, and "Everything Is Cool", which peaked at #10 on the R&B
chart. Group members included the brothers Theophilus "T" and Kirkwood
Coakley, David Mackey, Anthony ‘Monks’ Flowers, Berkley Vanbyrd and
Monty Brown.
Part proceeds from the event will be donated to the
Bahamas Children's Emergency Hostel. Originally started by the Kiwanis
Club of Nassau, the non-profit Bahamas Children’s Emergency Hostel was
incorporated in April 1970 and its sole purpose is to provide temporary
accommodation, food, clothing, medical care and other necessities for
the benefit of abandoned and neglected children, until more permanent
arrangements could be made for their welfare.
T-Connection last performed together in 2011 in Nassau with rave
reviews, "GREAT NIGHT! I just love love, love your music!," said one
attendee. "You guys ARE the GREATEST Bahamian group EVER! Thanks for the
music!" said another fan. "T connection is one of greatest Bahamian
groups of all time...Yall please, please, please, please , do a concert
again soon..." If you missed the
sold-out reunion, you get another
chance at, "Re-loaded".
