Booked for Wedding

The band were great and really added to the atmosphere of our wedding reception. They played contemporary music and it sounded great; everyone loved them. Initially our music requests were denied but we were happily surprised to hear it played which meant a lot. The lads that came were not the band shown in the photo but it wasn’t a problem for us. They were very professional. I would recommend, thank you 🙏🏻

Booked for Other Event

We booked Sunny Steel band for a feature on our radio show. They turned up early in the morning, having learned the songs we had requested despite very short notice. Both drummers were brilliant and really made the morning for our team! They totally embraced the fun of the feature and we would highly recomennd them for a similar job or an event. Very talented guys and able to pick up chart/pop music should you have any requests for your event, they looked great in matching uniforms too. Thomas who managed our booking was a complete professional and very accomodating with our requests. We would definitely book again!

Booked for Wedding

Gary was 100% first class in every way. I booked him as a suprise for my daughter at her wedding reception in UK after we went to Jamaica 2weeks ago for her wedding. Gary helped keep it a secret by waiting outside before setting up untill my daughter wasn't about. Everyone at the wedding loved him especially my daughter and son in law and many guests wanted him to play for longer. I would recommend him 101% to anyone who is looking for a Steel Drum. Don't be put off by him being a lot more affordable than others advertised. He is absolutely BRILLIANT. Thank fella.
