Booked for Wedding

Chris was a last minute addition to our wedding (due to freeing up some money in our budget) and what an amazing addition he was! I always dreamt about having a pan steel drummer play at our wedding, and he made our dreams come true! He helped bring the party vibes and went down an absolute treat amongst our guests! Would love an excuse to book him again for another event!

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.

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 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

These guys were amazing!! We had them for our tipi wedding in Barnsley and we couldn’t have been happier! They were so professional and even when the rain started, they kept the atmosphere and brought the pans inside to keep playing. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting steel drums at their event! Thank you so much x

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.
