What is Steelasophical?

The concept of Steelasophical was started by Gary Trotman back in the mid 1990’s as a semi professional service. It was the concept of having quality steel drum melodies with studio quality backing music for a full band sound. The advatange of this over conventional steel bands are the follows:

Unique Sound

Compact footprint

The ability to sound as a solist or a 10 piece band

Greater sound coverage especially outdoors

The vastness of the repertoire (more than 300 songs in 14 genres)

Steelasophical is an award winning, leading UK based, Premier Modern Steel Band and & Caribbean Dj Music Service “Steel Band“ Solo • Duo • Trio • Fouro. World class Steel drum and percussionists available for bookings around the UK, Europe and beyond.

The clients who choose Steelasophical Steel Band & Dj for their wedding or event usually have a huge passion for music and want it to be an important part of their day. The concept of Steelasophical is Steeldrums meets mobile DJ, Steelpans performed along with studio quality backing music for a full band sound.

A Steelasophical Soloist/Duo can be the equivalent in sound to a 10+ piece steel band or a professional mobile DJ… hows that for value!

Where an acoustic steelband would struggle to be heard outdoors (depending on the direction of the wind), Steelasophical Steel Band & Dj will create and maintain the perfect musical atmosphere even in large outdoor spaces.

The music selection is vast and caters for all ages and venues and special occasions. Steelasophical Steel Band & Dj started back in the late 90’s when soloists with backing music was in its infancy.

Today it is largely copied by many, alas, most lack the understanding that there is a distinction between being a musician and being a musical entertainer. Steelasophical is largely copied but never emulated nor surpassed; continuously evolving and laying the path for others to follow.

Do Steelasophical perform virtual events?

Steelasophical was a pioneer in providing virtual online performances.

This used to be carried out via Skype exclusively, but we now offer the following options:

What types of music does Steelasophical play

Wow .. what a great questions. Steelasophical boassts a repertoire of more than 300 core songs in over 14 genres. Gary Trotman, throughout the lockdown, creatrive FaceBookLive Steelpan Daily Song… Here is a link to our Steelasophical steel Band Repertoire page.

This is where Gary committed to performing a live song every single day on FaceBook which started back in March 2020.

The result has been a plethra of new songs that has seen the song list grow by another 100 songs

Over 300 songs in the following genres:

Soca • Reggae • Calypso • Jazz • Soul • Motown • Latin • POP • MOR • Ska • Country • Rock & Roll • Traditional • Classical

One of our special powers, is being able to take well known songs and perfrom them in a different genre. we believe the key is to play songs that people can relate to on many levels, after all, music is about altering people moods and feelings in any given moment.

Do you play nice with others?

We are in a privilage position of being recommended regularly by many venues and professional suppliers.

As we use the same quality ‘gear’ as professionals, it was the experience of one particular weddding that convinced us augment our services.

We were booked to provide music for a driks reception. Speeches were due to take place after. Out of courtesy, I decided to wait until after the peeches to start packing away.

The Mic and PA system for the speeches was going to be provided by a Caribean Mobile DJ. At the moment when the speeches were about commence, the DJ noticed that no sound was coming out from his speakers and had no clue what the problem was.

Fortunately, I was able to offer my mic and use of my PA system.

There is normally a sense of togetherness with most professional suppliers, always willing to help each other out in the time of need.

Why do you never arrive on time?

To us, aiming to arrive on time is way, way,way too late

Case Study: I once broke down on the M4 travelling to Wales. I managed to pull over to the side of the motoway, acllout our VIP level membership sevice with the RAC, have the car repaired, carry on my way, and arrive at the party I was booked for 20. ins early than the client was expecting me.

As a rule, we would always aim to get to you 2 hours prior to start time. If we are providing mobile Dj service or PA and lighting, this would be between 2 to 4 hours.

How does a professional Steel Band Differ?

Steelasophical prides itself as being a professional steel band service. This means we operate at a higher level and ethics base than someone would be doing this as a hobby or weekend pass-time. Gary is a full time music professional.

The other musicians within the Steelasophical stable are also professionals – one being a music tutor, another being one of the leading percussionists in the world!

You may notice hobby steel bands take a while to get back to you, they dont have professional contastantly updated websites, They may have to wait until they get back to work to see if they can booked a holiday to do your event!

They would rarely invest in their equipment, have insurance etc etc etc …

What sized Steelasophical band is best?

We provide 4 main options. Each has a full band sound and the biggest difference is really visual. Each has the ability to sound as much as a 10 piece band.

One of the reasons why we never really had to provide a roaming service is because our music at a venue would be comfortably heard over a wide area. Roaming steelbands are acoustic, so outdoors, depending on the diection of wind, the sound can be underwhealming.

Steelasophical Duo is by far the most popular option for most events

Steelasophical does provide an acoustic option. this is highly popular for occasions such as funeral days or leading a line of people from one location to another (drinks reception to the indoor meal)

Steelasophical Solo
Steelasphical Duo
Steelasophical Trio
Steelasophical Fouro

Wait! .. What? .. Money Back??.. Really?

But I can find a cheaper steel band

Ways to get cheaper music .. but at a risk!:::

• Less skilled and experienced musicians can be cheaper

• Musicians who pay no tax or insurances (leaving you exposed) can afford to be cheaper

• Musicians who don’t take the time to carefully plan for your event are cheaper

• Those with no licenses, Health & Safety documents or Public Liability Insurance can be cheaper

• Musicians who are desperate for work can be cheaper

• Part time, hobbyists and weekend musicians can be cheaper

• People who take no pride or consideration on presentation and appearance can be cheaper

• Bands with poor value equipment and instruments can be cheaper

• Bands who do not provide a backup solution

We strive to highlight to prospective clients value over price. You will, always, always find cheaper, but struggle to secure better value!

Do you do all that safety stuff?

Steelasophical Safety stuff:

Upon confirmation, please be sure to provide us with the full contact details of the venue.

We will need to contact them and provide them with essential Health and Safety documentation,

as well as gain an understanding of important informations such as venue access, terms and conditions, requirements, facilities etc.

In a previous life, I was a Contarcts Manager responsible for health & safety of engineers and trades people on multi million pound contracts. its an amazing advantage to have such a wealth of background knowledge that is directly transferable to events.

I have even inpromtu provided health and safety advice to venues who had no idea they were placing themselves and clients / customers / staff at risk!

Gary and the guys were absolutely brilliant

The band were booked for the wedding reception of my son and new wife. Gary and the guys were absolutely brilliant, their presentation and music was excellent. They were very smartly dressed and so pleasant to deal with. From the initial booking of the event I was kept updated, the manager Gary responded straight away to all queries I had. Overall a very professional band. I would not hesitate in recommending them. Price wise, they were the dearest we came across, but for good reason! the value was there to see.

Arlene Dixon 10/10

Creating a wonderful atmosphere

Thank you so much for providing your wonderful music to my daughters wedding. I certainly made the correct choice when given the sole responsibility of sourcing the music for their reception. The music was relaxing yet uplifting, creating a wonderful atmosphere, and thank you for slipping in my favourite song. My wife Brenda gave me a knowing looking look as soon as you started playing it. Absolute bliss! And cannot thank you enough Gary!

Donald Frazier

Amazing day that you were both a big part of

Amazing day that you were both a big part of. We see what you meant by “We bring the Caribbean to you” .. it was raining all morning, but you seem to have brought glorious sunshine with you. Thank you for providing the microphone, as we decided last minute to do the speeches outside while everyone was gathered in the sun. Keep doing what you do, because you make so many people so happy with your grace, music and smiles.

SteelBand Funeral Day Music

What music is played at funerals?

Some people ask us: is any music suitable for a funeral? The answer is simple. If it’s a true representation of your loved one and it won’t cause offense to their family or friends, there is no music that’s off limits.

At Steelasophical we believe music is universal and seemlessly uplifting in helping to celebrate the life of a passed loved one.

Genres can vary from pop songs, classical music, TV theme songs, heavy metal music – and plenty more. A funeral service is a celebration of life and if there is a song(s) that encourages this, music can be a central part of any ceremony.

SteelBand Funeral-Day Music

How to choose funeral music?

Steelasophical Steel Band Funeral Day Music. The main thing for us however is not the song choices, but the atmosphere to be crated and maintained. Alternatively, think of songs that you believe represent them as a person. Don’t be deterred from playing happy songs, a funeral is a celebration of life.
