Errol Ince, second from right, performs with his band the MusicMakers on the Grandstand stage in 1959. Ince @inceerrol learned music at the Tacarigua Orphanage and by 1953 was a featured first trumpet player with local big bands, playing on recordings by top calypsonians. He formed the Errol Ince Music Makers in 1959 and ran it until 1961 when he left for England. He performed for many years in Europe before returning to Trinidad. In 1966 he migrated to New York, where he played with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. He returned to Trinidad again in 1979, playing at Kitchener’s Calypso Tent for two years, then revived the Music Makers for another two.  He made a career performing with major tents and with the bands backing the Calypso Monarch Competition. He was voted the best trumpet player in Europe between 1968 and 1972 and received the Louis Armstrong Award in 1964. As a composer, he is most famous for Oh my Papa, but has composed for Baron and Natasha Wilson. He led music coaching in the Mentoring by the Masters series hosted by the Arts and Culture Ministry in 2013. His first album, Dance Trinidad, was released by Columbia Records and the TELCO Record Division in 1960.
