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.
