One of the oldest steel band in the country, the band originated in Barbados in the 1950s moved to the UK after Hallam Ifill immigrated to these shores with the remaining members following shortly after.
They settled in Bath and began performing under the name of the Barbados All Stars.
Whilst settling into UK life the All Stars began attracting younger players, who were emerging on the scene, the first of which was Toussaint Clarke. Over the years most of the original members migrated back to Barbados or retired from playing leaving Hallam and Toussaint to develop and form a new band with young recruits. Out of the ashes rises the phoenix - Rainbow was born!

The current line-up includes the legendary Earl Rodney who has been with Rainbow since 1992, taking the band to a new dimension in playing and arranging.
• ED SOLO
Ed Solo shows his signature ragga D&B style
Ed Solo has been at the front line of the drum & bass scene for more than 20 years. For most of that time he’s spearheaded a distinctive blend of upfront drum & bass, jungle and reggae, injecting a fun, bouncy atmosphere into what’s often described as a serious genre. While he’s been DJing and putting out records as a solo artist since he started, Solo’s career has been shaped by a couple of key close affiliates. This started back in 1998 with Represents, a gritty collaboration with Brockie that would spawn a longstanding relationship between the pair. In 2009, he then launched Jungle Cakes with Deekline, opening up the music to a new crowd through twists on reggae classics through highlight tracks like No No No (You Don’t Love Me) and Top Rankin. Solo was also active during dubstep’s explosion for the label Sludge, but with two full-lengths in partnership with Brockie and Darrison since then, drum & bass and reggae has been his primary focus. The mix he’s provided transports us back to energy-filled club nights and summer festival takeovers in the form of uplifting ragga drum & bass, mixed with new school flavours from some of the scene’s frontrunners.
