Ebony Steel band is one of Europe’s leading steel band and one of the first steel bands set up in the UK.  The band was founded in 1969 by a group of dedicated Caribbean and British men and women who shared a love of steel bands and steelpan music and wanted to promote steelpan music across the UK and Europe. Ebony has won the National Panorama competition at Notting Hill Carnival, for a record 22 times, eleven times in succession. Which has not been done by any band to date.
