Amazing steel pans, would definitely recommend to anyone, Chris was so friendly and accommodating with choice of songs and repertoire.. was a pleasure for our special day :) nothing but good vibes!

Booked for Birthday party

On arrival Chris was fantastic, he’s a very down to earth kinda guy. His music is amazing and he played with emotion and energy. You could tell it was something he absolutely loves doing and was passionate about: even taking some requests. Our event was under strict social distancing and was for my daughters birthday. If you’re looking for a Solo steel pan player with passion look no further!! Amazingly talented.

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.

Abdul was fantastic!!! He arrived early, set up and was ready as everyone arrived. Everyone, and I mean everyone at the event commented on how good the music was from the variety of songs to the quality of his playing. I would highly recommend him for any event whether it be corporate, a wedding or a party. Fantastic and a lovely guy!!!!!
