Booked for Corporate Function

Abdul was brilliant. He hit the spot with his music and was just what we wanted for our summer party. Punctual, very responsive and flexible to our needs, I would highly recommend him to anyone and we will certainly use him again for future events.

Booked for Wedding

I have to be honest, booking Holly’s band was a bit of an amazing fluke. We had actually booked another steel drum band who let us down by telling us 2 months before the wedding they couldn’t learn the song we had asked them 7 months before (one we’d like to walk down the aisle to). In a panic I started sending out messages to all steel drum bands in the North East. Not only was Holly the quickest to get back, with the best offer but the band already knew our aisle song! I couldn’t believe our luck! Not only that, Holly offered to learn more songs to make the day even more personal to us. The music filled our day with joy and so many of our guests have asked for a CD of Holly’s band (yes, Holly, I will be in touch begging for this!). You are an exceptionally talent group of musicians and the moment of hearing a melodic version of Local Hero as I walked down the aisle will be a memory I cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding such a unique and memorable day. X

Abdul was a delight to work with. He turned up promptly, set up quickly and played wonderfully. Everything we asked for. Thank you. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a solo steel pan player

Gary was a true professional and created a brilliant atmosphere. He is a skilled musician and DJ and got everyone up on the dance floor. We were all really impressed with him and have no hesitation recommending him. 10/10!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
