The UK National Panorama Steelband Competition<\/strong> is an annual steel pan event that is held in London over the Notting Hill Carnival weekend<\/a> and is the most respected and anticipated outside of the Caribbean.\u00a0 Following a hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, Notting Hill Carnival Ltd announced the return of the UK National Panorama Steelband Competition this year.<\/p>\n

There were four competing steel bands all looking to take the title of Panorama 2021<\/strong>!\u00a0 The first band up was ‘Ebony’ and they were followed by ‘Croydon Steel Orchestra’.\u00a0 Then it was the turn of ‘Metronomes’ and finally ‘Mangrove’ closed out the Panorama 2021 UK steelband competition.\u00a0 In a hotly fought contest, Mangrove Steelband<\/a> held on to its title as UK Panorama 2021 champion, making it the steel orchestra\u2019s eleventh win in the Panorama competition.
