This was hardly Canada's first steel band. In October 1960 Nick Inniss and I formed a steel band in Toronto with Invaders' pans(tenor, double seconds, guitars and bass)sent to us from Trinidad by Cobo Jack. The band was named Panniks. There were 7 to 10 members in this band.
Before that in the late fifties Sello Gomes had formed a smaller band called Tropitones in Toronto.
Just correcting the history.
