Steelband Music in London and The World

 
Steelpan, the traditional instrument of the Caribbean, is expertly played by pan players in the United Kingdom.  We have available for hire the following any number of pan players and steelband instruments to play at your event.:

 

The most feted and well renowned steelpan players in the country can be supplied in the following combinations and groupings, known as ‘gig-sides’.

 

Bands for hire :

·               A Solo steel pan artist

·               A three piece steelband gig-side

·               A five piece steelband gig-side

·               A seven piece steelband gig-side

·               A nine piece steelband gig-side

·               A twelve to 30 piece steel orchestra

 

All groups have an amazing repertoire of traditional Caribbean Calypso, European Classics and Contemporary Ballads and will play any tune to order, including weddings, christenings, corporate events, conferences, sports events, traditional hymns and tunes at funerals,   and any other occasions.

The ideal size for a steelband gig-side is seven players.  This will include the use of the resonant bass drums, tenor pans, cello pans and guitar pans, that will be capable of bringing forth from you a rhythmic dance synchronisation with the rendition or sentimentality and pathos when the occasion calls for it.

 

Thus their repertoire ranges the Soca rave of The Mighty Sparrow's Jean and Dinah to Nat King Cole’s ‘Unforgettable’ and the Righteous Brothers ‘Unchained Melody’!for the romantic; ‘Quantanemera’ and ‘Quando  Quando’ for the lovers of Latin Music; Abba’s Dancing Queen’ for those who like0to strut their stuff;  the Mighty Baron’s ‘I Want Somebody to Hug Up’ are  sure to bring you to your feet to dance and whine like you have never done before.  Or, when you listen to the comforting renditions of Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ or Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ or the hymn ‘How Great Thou Art’ being played by pan at  funerals, you are sure to recognise the versatility of the steel pan instrument and marvel at the lightness and sweetness of touch of the pan players.  STEEL PAN MUSIC IS THE GREATEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD !
