What is the Steelasophical Soloist...Act?

Steelasophical has been one of the few acts in the UK who have been instrumental in developing, promoting and advancing this unique form of musical entertainment.

It is effectively a one man band

= Gary Trotman + Pro Backing Music + Music Player + 1000w PA System

Offering people a real alternative and filling a niche in the entertainment industry

But I've got money to spend and want to see more people?

Don't worry - we have that covered

We also provide the duo options (Steeldrums with the following combinations): More Steeldrums  | Vocals | Sax |  Keyboards |Percussions | Guitar

Trio Options with combinations of the above

OR how about a full sized 5pc caribbean function band?

All with the underlined Steelasophical ethics, quality and professionalism

Talented

Saxophanist

Why not just have a normal steelband?

Due to the highly versatile nature of the act, these are just some of the benefits over most conventional bands:

- Compact

- Higher range of musical repotoire

- Range of music volume (from a soft and gentle single player performance, up to a full 5pc function band sound)

- Location - Steelasophical has been used in locations and venues where bands would not be considered due to cost, location, -  —           - Uniqueness

Can you play as a soloist without backing music?

Yes - and this is something I often do for wedding ceremonies

Upto 60mins of background fully acoustic music for a max 60mins

Renditions such as Wedding March - Bridal march - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Almaz

I can also cater for bespoke requests

For just one person you sound expensive compared to a band?

You need to be quoting like for like - trouble is  - Steelasophical is unique!

But for a few pointers:

More compact than a band

Softer than most bands (you can speak and be heard)

For that party situation - Steelasophical can be fully kicking - and more of an impact than most 3, 4 or 5 piece bands

Over 25 years experience in the music industry of entertaining audiences

A musical entertainer and not just a musician turning up for a gig

Steelasophical leads where others only hope and aspire to follow:

  Large and continued investment in the company

  £1000's in annual advertising  - to make it easier for you to find me

  Completed tax returns on an annual basis

  Over 35,000 Caribbean Steeldrum Albums sold world wide

  Music scored in the James Bond Movie Casino Royale

  Quality and diversity of music
