A STYLISTIC CARIBBEAN STEEL BAND – Manchester based
This fantastic Steel Drums Band has performed in five different countries, and counting. They have provided entertainment for corporate heavyweights such as Nokia, Sky TV, and Cadbury. What makes this band so unique is the incredible versatility of music that they play.
Lead by the pitch-perfect jazz junkie, Francis, they manage to produce the sweetest of sounds, playing any genre of music from the traditional Caribbean, to Chart Pop, Disney, and even House Music!
This fantastic Steel pan band (or Steel Drums Band as they are also called) are one of the UK’s finest Steel Bands. They play across the country at weddings, birthday and other events.
Their steel band music is a good mix of some traditional Caribbean Music which is very laid back and works well as background music, through to more upbeat repertoire which is often more recognisable and includes steel pan arrangements of well-known songs by artists such as Bob Marley and UB40.
As well as playing at all kinds of events, this authentic Steel Drums band also provide school and other educational workshops from early years, through KS1-4, universities and with groups of adults for corporate team building, hen and stag weekends or just for fun.
Many of the steel band musicians are from the Caribbean and have moved over to the UK to learn, teach and play for fun and entertainment.
