Mr. Barry Fitzsimmons, of Great Sounds, said the home -- for semi-dependent physically and/or mentally disabled people -- was the first organisation to receive tickets for the annual concert when it started five years ago.

This year's concert, to be held at Dockyard next Wednesday, will feature Spice and Company and John King from Barbados, Colin Lucas from Trinidad, and Bermuda's own Legacy.

Throughout the years, Great Sound has given tickets to various organisations, Mr. Fitzsimmons said.

"Soca represents, unlike any other music, fun, happiness and good times,'' he added. "And we think that everyone should have the opportunity to participate. That's why we are giving away these tickets.'' The concert will also provide a cruise to bring concert-goers from Hamilton to the show.

CYCLIST ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY AC Cyclist escapes serious injury A pedal cyclist miraculously escaped serious injury this week after a bus rolled over his foot.

The cyclist, Police said, was travelling too close behind a truck.

Police are investigating the accident which took place on Somerset Road, Sandys, on Tuesday evening after a truck travelling west along the road stopped short causing the pedal cyclist to collide with it.

The cycle fell into the path of a bus which was heading in the opposite direction.

The bus rolled over the pedal cyclist's foot causing minor bruising.

Police stressed that drivers of all vehicles should keep a safe distance behind vehicles at all times.

The suggested measure of the appropriate distance was the two-second rule, said the spokesman.

"The faster the speed, the greater the distance will be between the vehicles.'' THIEF TAKES A SHOWER BREAK CRM Thief takes a shower break A cheeky intruder took time out to have a shower when he broke into a house in Sandys Parish to steal beer and food.
