Solid Steel are a modern professional UK-based steel band or 'steel drum band' as our American cousins mistakenly call it! They are available for hire with musicians based mainly in London, but can perform throughout the country.
At the core of Solid Steel is a small family of musicians that spans three generations. They are all great musicians and most of have a second instrument they also play to a professional level.
What also distinguishes them from other steel bands is that they can offer vocals and other instrumentation to play the diverse repertoire that you can see in their playlist.
