Steel drum music festival | St Peter's Square | Sun 12 July | 11.30am-4pm

Stockport residents will be treated to a little bit of Caribbean escapism this weekend.

A free steelpan festival is taking place in St Peter's Square on Sunday 12 July, from 11:30am-4pm, featuring no less than seven steel drum bands.

There are around 50 performers across the seven groups, aged between eight and 80.

The festival, dubbed 'Pan on the Piazza', is being organised by Stockport-based steelpan teacher and band leader John Unwin.

The steelpan was invented in Trinidad and Tobego in the early 20th century, and since then has become the country's national instrument.

Among the participating groups are some younger performers, for whom it will be their first opportunity to play music outside a school setting.

The groups include:

• The Pandemonium Project Band
• Arthur's Class Act
• The Grove Groovers
• Panfire Steel Band
• Pantonic All Stars
• St John's Primary Steel Band
• Sensory Sounds (a band for visually impaired musicians)
