Each Sunday afternoon, Bankie Banx, international music star, hosts musicians at his Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla.

The Aurora Anguilla Amphitheatre hosted the premiere of the documentary: Bankie Banx, King of the Dune on December 21, 2023. Be sure to check out the film festivals in your area in 2024. Bankie Banx is a true original and son of Anguilla.

The Dune Preserve at Rendezvous Bay is more than a beach bar. It’s a destination for lovers of great music and fantastic views. It also has a hippie pirate vibe that adds to the fun!

On the afternoon we went, the Bankie Banx Sunday School began with talented, young guitarist Saleek Petty playing pop tunes for two hours straight. He’s definitely got a bright future!

After his set, Saleek was replaced by the keyboardist/vocalist Dennis Warrington whose set lasted about an hour.

Finally, as the sun began to set, Bankie Banx took center stage singing Hallelujah.

And the music continues into the night. Bankie Banx and the Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay are a must for anyone visiting Anguilla.
