San Fernando, Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. -  San Fernando West MP Faris Al-Rawi said he is doing all he can to make sure Hatters Steel Orchestra finds a proper home in the correct way.

“It is a work in progress, and we (stakeholders) should get that right with proper consultation and co-ordination,” he said on Wednesday night after a lease-distribution ceremony in Marabella.

“We are paying attention to Hatters’ reorganisation and relocation.”

He referred to the band as a strong contributor to the history of pan. The band is one of the oldest in San Fernando.

Last month, thieves broke into Hatters’ panyard at Lady Hailes Avenue in San Fernando. They stole hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment and musical instruments, including pans.
