Trinidad - Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra did the Southland in Trinidad proud on a beautiful April 15 evening when they performed Georgia On My Mind as their tune of choice for the ‘Pan In The 21st Century’ competition. The band retained the lead position gained coming out of the semis to capture first place. With 284 points, they beat out rivals and crowd pleaser Silver Stars (2009 Trinidad & Tobago Panorama champions) by one point for the top prize of TT $65,000. Silver Stars was playing Bohemian Rhapsody by rock band Queen when they ceded the coveted top spot.

  • This competition will make Pan more appealing to the rest of the world It's so refreshing to be able to hear a song played that almost everyone could sing along with. I am not knocking Panorama but that is a Trinidad thing, I truly believe that pan in the 21st will be our catalyst to the rest of the world.
