Solid Steel is a fully professional
Caribbean steel band founded by Paul Cherrie, and comprised of some
of the finest steel pan players in the UK today. The individual
musicians' roots lead directly to the tropical islands of Barbados,
Jamaica, Dominica, and principally, Trinidad, the home of the steel
drum or 'steel pan', arguably the most dynamic new instrument in
world music.
Available either as a fully
instrumental and unplugged acoustic act or as an amplified one with
vocals, we will always try to play the right material for you at the
right volume whether there are two or twenty members in the band at
your event. As comfortable performing on sophisticated ballads as
the liveliest of uptempo tunes we boast a broad repertoire that
encompasses calypso, soca, reggae, samba, salsa, merengue, cha cha
cha, bossa nova, bolero and pop.
Together for the last sixteen years,
we believe we are now perhaps the best-known steel band on the
corporate event circuit having endeared ourselves to the leading
party organisers with what we are authoritively told is our
exceptional professionalism.
Those
clients who use us put great faith in our reliability on the
strength of the track record we have over the broad variety of work
that we've undertaken in the past. As they see it, 'solid'
undoubtedly means reliable where Solid Steel is concerned. Aside
from top five-star hotels like the Dorchester and Park Lane Hilton
we have successfully played for private parties, weddings, college
balls, corporate events, festivals and countless Caribbean theme
nights in our time.
Nor are we strangers to international
audiences. Over the years we have played in France, Monte Carlo,
Spain, Germany, Norway, Turkey, Ireland, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain,
Doha, Syria, Israel, Hong Kong and Djibouti! Almost inevitably we
have never been to any of these places just the once.
