Trinbago Veteran TV & Cultural Personality & Desperadoes Steel Orchestra supporter Allyson Hennessy passes

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. -  When Steel Talks extends condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Trinidad & Tobago veteran television and cultural personality Allyson Hennessy, who passed away on Saturday night after a relatively short illness.

A lover of the steelband music and artform herself, Ms. Hennessy was a staunch proponent of the legendary Desperadoes Steel Orchestra, and could be counted on for a public and positive outlook regarding the historic Laventille Hill-based music organization.

She was present at times of transition impacting Desperadoes, such as the celebration of the life of  their legendary arranger Clive Bradley.  Bringing highlights of the affair to the rest of the country, Allyson Hennessy proudly displayed her support of the iconic music organization, sporting the band’s T-Shirt while on official assignment for the event.

In a press release, Pan Trinbago president Keith Diaz ‘saluted’ Ms. Hennessy’s contributions, saying “The association valued the relationship, which we shared with Allyson Hennessy.  We take this opportunity to commiserate with the family of this great patriot, who prided herself on being part of the cultural landscape.”

Viewed daily, known and loved by many in her decades–long span as a staple in Trinidad & Tobago television, Allyson Hennessy will be missed.
