Originally, Bacchanal Mas, the band was established in 2007 by Paul O’Donoghue and Richard Gallimore. In 2011 we rebranded and became “UCOM – United Colours of Mas”, a name reflective of our identity. At UCOM we pride ourselves on our commitment to the historic traditions of mas and fusing them with modern design and techniques. We constantly evolve and innovate when it comes to costume design and concepts, customer service, road experience and exciting themes. UCOM Carnival has won 1st place in the Notting Hill Carnival Adult Fun & Fantasy category multiple times. In 2019 we achieved 1st place in the Adult Fun & Fantasy category, Band Of The Year, Best Dutty Mas Band and Best Sound System award with RC1 Audio in both 2019 and 2022. In 2019, UCOM collaborated with Alvaro Barrington to create a full “On The Road Concert” featuring Patrice Roberts, Machel Montano, Motto, Skinny Fabulous, Mr Killa and Teddyson John which was a truly once-in-a-lifetime road experience. The Team consists of Paul O’Donoghue (Designer), Adunni Adams (Director and Project Manager) and Steve Clarke (Band Leader). Promoted Private Sections include Kenvee, One Paradise x Shades Worldwide, Onyx Mas and Socaholic UK. We are looking forward to a positive and exciting 2023 as we present “Aves – Birds of the Tropics” for the London Notting Hill Carnival.
