Croydon Steel Orchestra's 18th Anniversary Poem
In Croydon's embrace, where steel drums resound,
Croydon Steel Orchestra, with pride renowned.
Led by Paul Dowie, a visionary's grace,
Their melodies weave, in harmonious chase.
For eighteen years, their rhythm has soared,
In Croydon's heart, their passion's adored.
Paul's guidance and vision, a beacon bright,
In the world of Pan, he brings pure delight.
Arranger extraordinaire, his talent shines,
Breathing life into music, in vibrant lines.
With each beat they play, a story unfolds,
In Croydon's rhythm, their legacy holds.
Through challenges faced, they've stood as one,
Croydon Steel Orchestra, their journey's spun.
In celebration of eighteen years strong,
Their melodies echo, a triumphant song.
Here's to Croydon Steel, their spirit ablaze,
Led by Paul Dowie, they amaze.
In Croydon's embrace, their legacy thrives,
Croydon Steel Orchestra, for all time survives.
