In this powerful episode of A Shot of Soca, we were honoured to be joined in studio by the team behind Montserrat Festival UK. They shared emotional first-hand stories of:

The 1995 Soufrière Hills volcanic eruption

What it was like to live through the disaster and the impact of displacement

How Montserratians rebuilt their lives across the diaspora

Why 2025 marks 30 years of resilience and the importance of honouring that legacy

The launch of Montserrat Festival UK a celebration of culture, strength, and community in the heart of London

This is more than just a conversation it’s a tribute to Montserrat and a people who’ve turned tragedy into triumph, and a reminder of the power of Caribbean identity.————————————-
