    Prime Minister Gaston Browne says Cabinet is discussing a proposal to rename Potters Main Road in honour of the iconic Antiguan band Burning Flames.

    Posting on social media, Mr Browne revealed the suggested name is “Burning Flames Drive”. The announcement comes as the band marks its 40th anniversary.

    Band member Clarence “Oungku” Edwards welcomed the move, recalling that a similar promise was made more than 30 years ago. “If your Cabinet can get this done, this would be another feather in your already well-decorated hat,” he wrote.

    Formed in 1984, Burning Flames has become one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most celebrated musical exports. The group – brothers Clarence, Toriano “Onyan” and David “Bubb-I” Edwards, along with nephew Rone “Foxx” Watkins – has toured widely, promoting Caribbean culture worldwide.
