MELVYN THE MAGNIFICIENT (aka LET'S HIT THE STREETS)

Melvyn's passion is Karnival. He is a charismatic figure with a gift for communication and becomes a forceful go-between linking his community with the Government, the sponsors and the police. The fact that he is an ex-con makes him even more effective by gaining him the confidence of the gangs whose members are prevalent within the 40-odd Karnival troupes.
