Thomas from Sunny Steel Band was brilliant. His performance was excellent, the music was brilliant! And overall hes a really nice guy. We would definitely recommend him and try to book him again.

Booked for Celebration

Solid Steele turned up in plenty of time to start when I’d asked them to. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating .The music was fantastic and my whole party of about 100 who had come to celebrate the life of my darling wife Pauline of nearly 50 years of marriage,and whom had died exactly 2 years to the day, really enjoyed it and saying what a great idea to have such music. It was my wife’s wish to have a steel band at her funeral if she went first,but we couldn’t have a wake afterwards because of Covid restrictions,so this was my first opportunity to put it right. Well done Solid Steele ,you were brilliant.

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

Booked for Wedding

Graham & Rebekah kept great communication from beginning of booking to the end. They were super flexible in terms of timings and location & with typical wedding ceremony delays they played much longer than originally planned. Graham even managed to get the younger ones involved with a bit of pan tuition! The set up was perfect under their gazebo. All in all a great day was made better with their rhythmic steel sounds in the sunshine. The bride was so grateful & so were we. Thanks guys for a great afternoon. Thoroughly recommended!!

Booked for Birthday party

"Absolutely fantastic performance and raised the atmosphere to stratospheric heights. They played music that fitted the event and matched the age group of the audience perfectly. Lots of people requested their contact details and I would recommend them to perform at any event. So thank you to Garry and his brother Cush for making this an unforgettable occasion. Mike Jones"

Booked for Wedding

"If I could rate Abdul more than 5 stars I absolutely would. He set the tone for our wedding perfectly. He played a wide range of songs and played brilliantly, our guests thoroughly enjoyed his talents. I couldn't recommend him enough! If I have any future functions I will no doubt look to see if he is available. All the best, Aaron"
