Steel Tribe

The newest pan-round-neck band in Britain!

Formerly known as Euphoria, under the guiding hand of Rachel Rankin-Hayward, the band was formed in 2011. Based in Brighton, they were originally a community workshop band. They played for various community events, such as Brighton’s annual Burning the Clocks and Children’s parades. As the only walking steel band in the south east area, and one of a few single pan bands in the country, they soon became a regular fixture at similar events and perform throughout the South of England.

When Rachel retired from the band, they regrouped and reformed as Steel Tribe, with Theo Chin Chit as their musical director.

Following the turmoil of the Covid 19 lockdown, they needed to find a new practice base. They are now based on the edge of Brighton and perform throughout Sussex at fixed and walking events.

Looking to the future, they have evolved from the original workshop band, and now practice weekly, building their repertoire and honing their skills. They have a core of dedicated players who love playing pan, while also spotting and supporting new talent.

Steel Tribe now perform throughout the year, for public and private events. If you would like to book Steel Tribe to play at your event, please contact Julie via email - juliebutler28@ yahoo.co.uk or call 07462244829.
