Bermuda Summerfest Strives to Recast Island Image

Bermuda faces a bold bid to reshape its image with a three day Summerfest rock festival. Promoter Bryer Hall and organizers tout a new cultural era despite police scrutiny, lineup mishaps, and logistical woes. Renowned acts like Al Green and Peter Tosh drew crowds, but no-shows and curfews marred the event. Local youths see it as a step toward modernizing Bermuda’s cultural scene.
