In 2007, the organisers of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tatttoo staged a Mini Tattoo for visitors and residents to enjoy the show who may or may not have managed to get a ticket to the annual event on Edinburgh's castle esplanade. The Mini Tattoo was a 1 hour show featuring performers from the main event at the castle.

This segment features the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Steel Orchestra who have visited Edinburgh on numerous occasions, first in 1997 followed by their welcome second visit in 2000 before returning on demand delighting audiences in 2005, 2007. 2014 and 2023, 2007 being a special year indeed as there was not one but two mini tattoo performances. I went to both and filmed at each event.

This video is an edit of the two where the performances were the same but band wore a different uniform which made editing really challenging. Therefore you will notice that in some of the shots the band wears a light green uniform where other shots show them wearing grey fleeces. This was an amusing problem for me in the edit suite where I had to just bare and grim it as I only had one camera filing their performances at any one time. I guess they were cold on the second day!

The Trinidad & Tobago Defence Steel Orchestra and Drums is the official army band of the countries of Trinidad and Tobago, islands in the carribean. The band's instruments are known as pans, made of old oil barrels. To create the pans, the upper part of an oil barrel gets chopped off and then is hammered to create indented areas of different sizes. It's a unique instrument as it's one of the few that creates different sounds within one area of play. The pan is known widely for being the nation's national instrument.
