Feb 24, 2025

Their Excellencies Christine Carla Kangaloo, ORTT, President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and Kerwyn Garcia SC, First Gentleman, visited the Heritage Petroleum Skiffle Steel Orchestra on Monday 24 February, 2025. This fourth stop of their 2025 tour of pan yards certainly did not disappoint.

Their Excellencies were treated to the sweet sounds of steelpan music and took the opportunity to speak with the pannists, offering them words of encouragement. They were joined by Heritage Petroleum Company Ltd Chairman, Michael Quamina S.C., as well as Skiffle founder, Mr Junia Regrello.

Since its founding in 1977, Skiffle Bunch Steelband has taken steelpan music to audiences around the globe. We wish them the best of luck in the upcoming Panorama Finals!
