DR Alpha Sennon, director of marketing and communications of the Deltones Institute of Steeldrums and Music, confirmed yesterday that Heritage Petroleum Company had withdrawn its sponsorship of the Siparia Deltones Steel Orchestra.

The three-year sponsorship came to an end last week, at the same time Heritage terminated its contract with San Fernando-based Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra.

In an interview with the Express yesterday, Sennon said Heritage had stepped into the position following the collapse of funding when its main benefactor Petrotrin closed in 2018.
