The Ebony Steelband was founded in 1969 by a group of dedicated pan men and women who shared one principle love ‘the love of steelpan.’ Since the very beginning the main focus for the members of Ebony Steelband has been to promote steelpan music across the UK and Europe. With the growth of Ebony Steelband this aim has been increasingly fulfilled and Ebony is Europe’s leading Steelband (currently European steelband champions). It is the record 19 times winner of the National Panorama competition at Notting Hill Carnival – 9 times in succession – and the current National Steelband Champions.
PRSF funding will enable Ebony Steelband to develop it’s recently set up a new youth band, and to engage the leading UK pan composer and arranger Anise Hadeed to work with these young musicians to create three new, outstanding pieces of music to be performed at a seies of events over the next 12 months.
