Initially North Steel was the obvious and natural result of a steelpan class at North Leeds Music Centre [managed by Leeds ArtForms Music Service], and came into existence ten-ish years ago with leader, Victoria Jaquiss. Then with Jermaine Peterson taking over leader, Victoria went on to grow a new band at Horsforth Music Centre. Next it was led by Helen Cossavella, and went from strength to strength. And now Ben Nunn is taking it forward in his own inimitable way.
