DON’T LET THEM ROAM – COOL CATS STAY CLOSE TO HOME
This 300-page autobiography, “Carnival is Me” traces the life experiences of one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most talented exports.
Aldwyn Rostant, known as Alvin, is a professional musician, pannist, award winning steel pan composer and arranger, MC and entertainer residing in Australia. The steelpan is a musical instrument originating in Trinidad and Tobago.
TAKING ENROLMENTS FOR 2026
“Carnival is Me” begins at Trinidad’s Carnival in 1952 and finishes with Alvin’s original musical composition Carnival is Me which was released 2021 with the Supernova’s Steel Orchestra, doing a Steelband arrangement of the song.
An internet search for ‘Stray Cats’ may take you down a rabbit hole of 1980s rockabilly music, but it is not ‘Cool for Cats’ to stray.
Redland City Council recognises that pets enrich our quality of life, but straying cats cause impacts for neighbours and wildlife.
Deputy Mayor Julie Talty urged responsible cat owners to keep their animals safe on their property.
“In addition, 407 cats were impounded at Redland Animal Shelter because of them straying onto neighbouring properties and causing a nuisance.
Alvin has toured the USA, Canada and the South Pacific with Amral Khan’s Trinidad Calypso Cavaliers. He also held an Intercollege Soccer Record which was only equalled in November 2020. He was the only person to have scored in two inter-college soccer finals in 1969 and 1971, which makes him part of a rare group of players to have accomplished this feat.

“Straying cats often have instinctive hunting habits, creating a significant environmental issue given the impacts on local wildlife, particularly birds, reptiles and small mammals.
Alvin received the Australian Prime Minister’s Award for Community in 2001 for Mission Australia’s project ‘Beat of the Drum’, which was written and coordinated by Alvin.
“They can also be hit by cars, injured by other animals or exposed to feline diseases. “Keeping cats indoors or in a secure outdoor enclosure helps improve their safety and wellbeing as well as protecting local biodiversity.”
He has sung the West Indie’s cricket anthem in some of Australia’s biggest stadiums - the M.C.G. (Melbourne Cricket Ground), W.A.C.A. Ground (Western Australia Cricket Association), The Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground).
Cr Talty said responsible cat ownership also included registration and microchipping. “Registration and microchipping help to reunite pets with their owners should they become lost or be impounded,” she said.
Alvin represented the Caribbean at the 2018 Commonwealth Games

“The more of Alvin’s story I heard the more I could see the reflection of his story in a rapidly changing societal landscape that provided a backdrop to each part of his life, the opportunity, the expansion, the serendipity he experienced all reflect the greater changes in the world at that time.”
