Remembering the legendary steelband leader George “Sonny” Goddard on his Birthday
Remembering leader, author, organizer, activist, historian and Hummingbird Gold Medal awardee - the late George “Sonny” Goddard on his birthday, April 28.
Steelband performers in Trinidad and Tobago (steeldrum’s birthplace) since 1950, have been represented by three organizations: the Steelbands Association, the National Association of Trinidad and Tobago Steelbandsmen (NATTS), and (now) Pan Trinbago.
One man served as the head of all three. George “Sonny” Goddard (1924-1988).
He is the only president of any of the three organizations to be re-elected to the post, not once, but (at least) ten times!
