United Kingdom - Caribbean Steel International was originally formed in 2004 with just three members. After obtaining invaluable experience from working with some of the top steel bands in the UK, Trinidad and Japan, they decided it would be a great idea to form a small group to do gigs, owing to the demand for 3 or 4 piece steel bands.  After ensuring that their small steel band was well established on the gigging circuit, CSI founding members decided to start a community group that would involve their local communities in the steel pan art form.
 

After investing a substantial amount of time and effort, Caribbean Steel International (CSI) has opened a community group steel band in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in London. Their classes are aimed at giving the public the opportunity of learning about, and how to play, the unique instrument that is the steel pan.
 

CSI had a great opportunity to play at Lords’ for the first cricket test match between England and the West Indies at the beginning of May 2009. This was truly a wonderful experience for CSI as it was their first appearance at this venue, and they are hoping that it will be on an ongoing basis for similar events at the iconic Lords’ cricketing venue.  Their performance was well received by all in attendance.
 

The crowd found it very entertaining, dancing and performing the limbo dance to CSI’s repertoire of Rally ’Round the West Indies, Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot and a medley of calypsonian the Mighty Sparrow’s songs. The warm weather also added to the ambience of the event - even though the West Indies cricket team was not victorious.
 

CSI is currently very busy practicing for their upcoming trip to Almere in Holland where they will perform at the Afrique-Carib Festival in July 2009.
