Franklyn "Frankie" McIntosh shares his spotlight with the Themes String Quartet.
As reported in the VINCENTIAN OCT 5 2018 (local Newspaper; see full article here):
"Franklyn ‘Frankie’ McIntosh has been bestowed with honours of all kinds, the result of his devotion to the development of the music industry of the Caribbean and to his own artistry as a musician. He is a Caribbean icon, held in high acclaim by calypso personages like Dr. Hollis ‘Chalkdust’ Liverpool, Dr. Slinger ‘Sparrow’ Francisco, and just about who is who in the entertainment sphere... ...But there is something that might not be readily known about Frankie. He is perhaps the ultimate talent scout. It took a few chords from a rehearsal of this country’s National Anthem for Frankie to request that the ‘Themes String Quartet’ be on stage for the recognition event dubbed ‘Accolade.’ The second edition of Accolade, a production of A&A T Promotion, is an event that pays tribute to those who have made lifetime contributions to the advancement of the music and creative industry of the Caribbean. The person in the spotlight of the second edition of ‘Accolade’, set for Saturday 6th October, Russell Auditorium, is none other than Frankie McIntosh. Frankie, during a pre-event news briefing held on Wednesday, said he was "looking forward to it,” (the Accolade event). He outlined that he requested Themes String Quartet – comprised of Caran Gordon, Shanis Cato, Samuel Toka, and Ruth Ann Lewis - to be on the show after hearing them rehearse at the Botanic Gardens." THE VERY REHEARSAL FRANKIE MCINTOSH SAW AT THE BOTANICAL GARDENS BELOW!

I am truly appreciative of Frankie's acknowledgement. I am proud that the members of the quartet had worked and had been diligent enough to get someone of Frankie's caliber to notice them. I hope more musicians in SVG would get involved in music of this kind at this level.
--Ms. Ruth-Ann Lewis, MMus founder and director of the Themes String Quartet.
