The live experience

What reaches the room

The 20th Century Steel Band is a quintessential Caribbean steel pan ensemble that helped shape the UK’s brass and steel band scene. Formed in 1975 by nine players, many from Trinidad, the group brought Island Records a dynamic blend of calypso, funk, and pop energy. Their early rise to fame included a memorable appearance on UK television’s New Faces and a John Peel session that cemented their status in the international music scene. We’ve got the insider knowledge on how to secure your seats for their standout performances and timeless recordings.
