San Fernando Mayor Junia Regrello
Two months after Old Tech Steel Orchestra was kicked out of its base at the San Fernando West Secondary school, San Fernando Mayor Junia Regrello has come to its rescue.
Regrello announced at the San Fernando City Corporation statutory meeting on Tuesday that he has been able to identify a space for Old Tech to set up a base in Pleasantville.
The property, which belongs to the city corporation, is an open space near the Pleasantville Plaza and Regrello said the corporation would clear the property so the band which has been squatting at Hatters Steel Orchestra since it was ejected in April, can have a home.
“As you all know, art and culture hold a special place with me, and I continue to champion the cause for the growth and development of art and culture towards the protection of our cultural heritage,” Regrello said at the meeting.

“This is not something the corporation normally does. There is no provision in our system to provide shelter for an unsponsored steelband."
