It is with great sadness that the British Association of
Steelbands announces the passing of Eziekel ‘Biggs’;
Yearwood early yesterday morning.
Born in St Vincent, ‘Biggs’ arrived in the UK in 1965. A
pan maker, tuner and tutor, he set up Pantonic Steel
Orchestra (London) with the late Raymond Joseph.
Noted for his quality instruments – particularly his
background and bass pans – Biggs will be sorely missed.
Funeral arrangements will be circulated as soon as these are
available.
