Steel Drum Fiesta 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, Steel Drum Fiesta will always try to play the right material for you at the right volume whether there are 2 or 20 members in the band at your event. As comfortable performing on sophisticated ballads as the liveliest of uptempo tunes Steel Drum Fiesta 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, Steel Drum Fiesta believe they are now perhaps the best-known steel band on the corporate event circuit having endeared themselves to the leading party organisers with exceptional professionalism. Those clients who use the group put great faith in their reliability on the strength of the track record they have over the broad variety of work that they have undertaken in the past.

Thank-you for entertaining everyone so well at the BBQ. In spite of a wet and grey day, it was soon forgotten with the delightful sound of your band.
