Our London
By Mike Maloney
Parading down cold, wind-swept streets on the back of a flat-bed truck is a far cry from jamming under palm trees swaying in a Caribbean breeze,but it’s all in a day’s work for members of the Golden Harps Steel Orchestra.
Founded in 1992 by Terry Greene and his friend, Joe Soloman, the band is set to mark its 25th year in the Forest City.
Making the Steel Harps unique among the multitude of groups plying their art in London is the instruments they play. “It’s a steel drum band,” explained Greene while taking a break from preparations for the group’s recent Christmas concert.
