Lord Kitchener's "No Pan" by Vat 19 Fonclaire Steel orchestra (1980)

An arrangement from Milton "Wire" Austin and Rudin Austin. Performed at the 1980 Steelband Music Festival
From the record album "Encore Live", which featured performances from the 1980 Steelband Music Festival. here is the Vat 19 Fonclaire Steel Orchestra and Lord Kitchener's "No Pan".
This arrangement by the Austin brothers gives a taste of that powerful, uptempo sound that we loved from Fonclaire when they dominated south pan in the seventies and eighties, even before Ken "Professor" Philmore became the band's featured arranger.

There's something heavenly about the steel pan. The music rises beyond the ordinary.

One of my all time favorite recordings, and a bold arrangement of Kitch's classic. I have always been dying to know who the Fonclaire drummer on this recording is. He is amazing, bold, calculating, and well, brilliant.
