Panectar at The Royal Albert Hall for Notting Hill Carnival 2020

Due to Covid 19, Notting Hill Carnival was unable to be on the road in 2020. Instead, the Carnival community pulled together to entertain and educate an online audience on lockdown. This video is of Panectar performing 'Pastime Paradise' at The Royal Albert Hall for Notting Hill Carnival 2020: Access All Areas. It was steelpan that rang out the first sound of Carnival on the streets of Notting Hill in the mid 1960s. Russell Henderson and his band had been invited by Rhaune Laslett to play pan at the children’s street fayre she had organised. Russell decided to ‘make ah rounds’, and, with pan round neck, the band took the first steps into what has now become the biggest street event in Europe. Steelpan remains an integral element of Notting Hill Carnival today. For more information about steelpan please go to www.nhcarnival.org
