The entertainment industry especially the steelband fraternity has suffered from the global pandemic. I hope that 2023 brings more opportunities for the steelpan artform to continue to evolve and keep abreast of the now digital world we seem to live in currently. Thanks for keeping us updated. Your valuable work is greatly appreciated. See you at the 2023 Trinidad Panorama.

Hello Panpodium
As the world evolves from the pandemic, global warming and the war. Everything has become more difficult to achieve but we must continue to aspire to attain our dreams/visions/goals. For steelbands to survive, we must invest in efficient technology in this digital era, acquire tenure of our pan yards to provide stability, invest in our people/ musicians to achieve continuity and lastly, we must provide the necessary help and support to our members’ well being. Effective and spirited management of our institutions will reap rewards. These measures will see the battle for our steelband’s existence continue far into the future.

Hey PP Team
After the restrictions of the Pandemic it was great to be able to attend the Ebony and Pan Nation Blockoramas, the concerts in Holland Park Opera House, Panorama, Jouvert, Carnival on the Road and Pan Nation, Endurance and Ebony Winter concerts. Not forgetting Mangove’s first Dinner and Awards. It is so good to have all these events back and I am looking to many more in 2023. Thanks to the UK Steelpan fraternity.
