Following this performance, they went on to perform at the London Calling Music Conference in London. In addition, 12 The Band had the distinguished pleasure of being captured in the BBC 2 radio documentary on Caribbean life and music hosted by renowned British recording artist Joan Armatrading, as well as being published in the London Telegraph. Joan described the group as "one of the great undiscovered talents of the Caribbean."

The performance is a part of Real Art Ways’ Rockstone and Bootheel, a multdisciplinary exhibition of contemporary West Indian art. The exhibition runs through Sunday, March 14, with a closing reception from 2-4 PM.
