    The late Clive Bradley with Len Church May 9th When Steel Talks extends Birthday Greetings to Musician  Len Church “From those rather musically promiscuous beginnings I developed a love for everything musical: calypso, pop, Latin, Jazz, East Indian music, African music and of course Steelpan. I still remember Katzenjammers and the excitement around TASPO (Trinidad All-Steel Percussion Orchestra) visiting England. I spent most of my time sitting under that Redifusion box listening to Radio Trinidad, soaking in everything including the classics which they played a lot of. I still hum the orchestration for some of those symphonies and concertos today .” Len Church is a respected member of that extraordinarily talented group of musicians that ushered in the period commonly referred to as ‘the Golden Era of Caribbean Music.’ He performed and/or recorded with the likes of Winifred Atwell , Ed Watson, Clive Bradley , Felix Roach, Mavis John and many, many mo...
