Skiffel Bunch Steel Orchestra
About
Skiffel Bunch Steel Orchestra, on Trinidad, brings live steel-pan performance to audiences in the island's southern city of San Fernando. A first visit means hearing a full orchestra of steel pans in a theatre setting, where the instruments carry melody, harmony and rhythm together.
Audiences have left a 4.9 out of 5 average across 20 reviews, a small but enthusiastic record for the orchestra. The group performs at 110 Coffee St, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, placing it in the island's second city rather than the capital. San Fernando sits on the south-western coast, within reach of Port of Spain, Arima and Chaguanas by road, and the nearby towns of Scarborough, Maracas Bay, Las Cuevas and Blanchisseuse sit further afield across Trinidad and Tobago.
The Caribbean dry season runs roughly from December to May, when rainfall is lower and trade winds steady, making those months the most comfortable for travelling to performances. San Fernando is served by the island's road network, so a car or taxi from the main towns along the west coast is the usual way to arrive.
Steel-pan music grew out of Trinidad's own communities, and an orchestra of this size fills a theatre with sound that recorded music cannot match. Visitors who plan around the dry season and book ahead for a performance will find the southern city easy to include in an island itinerary.
