    About this Act

    Specialists in corporate entertainment, private events, and Caribbean themed everythings, The One Steel Band have been using their unique style of tropical tunes to warm events of all types for the past 30 years.

    Playing a mixture of infectious island melodies, well known pop songs and sing alongs, and even Christmas carols - all with a Caribbean twist - these guys are of the most popular providers of world music on the circuit, and have performed in 12 different countries, and counting, for corporate heavyweights such as Nokia, Cadbury and Sky TV.

    What makes this band unique is their versatility, they are led by the perfect pitched jazz junkie, Francis, The One Steel Band manage to produce the sweetest of sounds with anything from two to six players, and so can consistently offer the right sized ensemble to suit each particular event and budget.

    Experienced in workshops and teaching, this band can use their skills to provide a semi-interactive show, where appropriate, encouraging some of your guests to have a try on the steel drums.
