‘Ah Going Home’

Hermus Edghill Lively was born in Charlo Village, Penal, in south Trinidad. At the age of fourteen, he started playing Pan with the village steelband ‘The Trinidad Valley Harps’ under the leadership of his brother Vernon Flanders, and arranger/tuner Edward Alvarado.

In 1990 Edghill began working with the Discovery Cruise Line, and performed as a one-man band on the vessels through 2001. The track featured here, Ah Going Home, was created because his wife was questioning why he had to go to Trinidad - and his answer to her was, “The sound of Pan calling me.”  With the support and vocals of “Marvelous Marva” - to whom Edghill is grateful - the song came to life.
