North Tyneside Steelband

North Tyneside

The North Tyneside Steelband provides tuition, outreach, rehearsal and performance opportunities for young people and others on steel pan, the world's newest musical instrument. There are weekly sessions for beginners, adults and experienced players. Several of our players have become professional and semi-pro musicians.

We perform at events ranging from local schools, festivals, churches up to The Sage, City Hall, Albert Hall, private weddings, anniversaries, parties, and corporate events. We also work in partnership with several Local Education Authorities (LEAs).
