The Metronomes Steel Orchestra (MSO) was formed in 1973 by Phil Dubique and Irvin Corridan. This family based steel band is an established UK steel pan icon and has effectively contributed to this wonderful art form for more than thirty years.  MSO is currently managed by Eversley ‘Breeze’ Mills - vice chairman of BAS. He has injected a new vibrancy into the band which comprises of men and women, young and old whose talent and dedication to developing their own individual skills is outstanding. These players are constantly extending their expertise and developing an in-depth knowledge of the evolution of this musical instrument called the steel pan.

They have had several major achievements, e.g. appearance in ‘Songs of Praise’, winners at the UK Steel Band Music Festival in 1976, the opening of the Channel Tunnel, BAS Pan Explosion winners in 2000 and 2001; UK National Panorama winners four times and five times as runners up. They have also won the Notting Hill “On the Road Competition” twice. They have completed many worldwide tours and in September 2005 performed in Leipzig, Germany on an invitation from the T&T High Commission.
