Golden Harps Steel Orchestra

DJ Wickham

Thank you to today`s entertainment!

London’s Golden Harps Steel Orchestra was founded 25 years ago to introduce the national instrument of Trinidad & Tobago to the greater Southwestern Ontario region. Like its members, the band’s repertoire is very diverse, offering musical arrangements from Island Rhythms to Contemporary Top 40; from Latin and Salsa to Rock & Old Classics; from classical Concerto to popular Christmas songs…all with a Caribbean flair.

The VybeKingz is a DJ duo consisting of DELO (DJ/Producer) and DJ Wickham (DJ). After meeting earlier in the year (2015), they quickly embarked on several collaborations as DJs, creating a buzz within London. Soon after, VybeKingz was formed as a true testament to their style and vision. The VybeKingz mission is to set new standards for urban cultural entertainment in Canada, through innovation, creative flow and versatility.
