Steel Band (Tropical Bay)

Experience the enchanting sounds of the Caribbean with our Steel Band, a captivating ensemble hailing from the vibrant shores of Trinidad and Tobago. Each performance features an array of steel drums, from the melodious lead pans to the harmonising mid-size pans and the deep resonance of the bass pans crafted from 55-gallon drums.

A Steel Band is the perfect addition to any event seeking a tropical Caribbean flair. Whether you're hosting a private function, a corporate event, or a special celebration like a wedding, their lively and engaging music sets a festive and relaxed atmosphere, ensuring your guests enjoy every moment.

Our Steel Band's repertoire spans a wide range of musical styles. From the energetic beats of Calypso and Soca to the smooth rhythms of Reggae, the festive sounds of Bollywood and Jazz, and even traditional Christmas carols, they bring a true Caribbean vibe to any occasion. The band's flexibility allows for a fully customisable experience, from a solo act to a full ensemble, tailored to your event's specific needs.


Event Services Include:

  • Workshops: Ideal for educational settings, our workshops introduce participants to the steel pan, the last new instrument invented in the 20th century. Attendees learn to play various steel percussion instruments, making music accessible and fun for all ages.
  • Weddings: Enhance your special day with music that travels straight from the Caribbean. The band can perform at different stages of your wedding, from leading the procession down the aisle to livening up the reception. Song requests are welcomed to personalise your experience.
  • Corporate Events: Set the perfect tone with either subtle background music or featured evening performances. The band's professional presence and dynamic sound are sure to impress colleagues and clients alike.
  • Private Functions: Versatile and vibrant, the Steel Band is suited for a myriad of events including birthdays, fundraisers, and sporting celebrations. Whether you need ambient music during meals or full performance entertainment, they adapt to enhance your gathering.

Invite the joy and rhythm of the Caribbean to your next event with our Steel Band and let their music transport you and your guests to a tropical paradise.

Line Dancers (Supreme)
1 Star
It was the first time that the Club has used a similar service and the dancers were excellent and also able to flex their approach to meet our needs (as the stage space was limited and headset mics in short supply). We captured some fantastic photos that show just how much our employees enjoyed the event and all the dancers were friendly and helpful. It helped us to get into the party spirit and also set the Western theme/tone really well
