We had an incredible day at our company event, the music was incredible and complimented by everyone who attended. The vibe was perfect, the performance quality was impeccable and the guys were so nice and friendly. I would 100% book them again in future.
We hired Steeldrumbands to play during our wedding ceremony and reception and absolutely loved them - we couldn't recommend them highly enough. Francis was an excellent communicator in the lead up to the wedding, he answered all of our queries by either Whatsapp or phone call. On the day, Paul and the band played wonderfully - we couldn't have asked for anything better. They learnt two songs for us - one for the bride to walk down the aisle to, and one to lead the guests out. They also played while the guests were being seated, during our witness signing and during the reception - all songs that they had decided on, which fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly. So many of the guests commented on how fantastic they were and we could not have been happier with their performance! Thank you so much guys!
What an amazing band, great performance, so professional, on time, good communication. Everyone loved them, they made our day so special and unique.
And finally great value for money. Would re use in a heart beat.
Thank you to you amazing musicians.
The band were amazing, came early. Learnt songs specifically for the event and joined in for photos and being part of the party in general! Couldn’t fault them they really helped make the event perfect !
I hired Francis and his group to come play for my mom at her 90th birthday party. They were amazing. Leading up to the event they were very accommodating with last minute changes like playing a certain song for when she walked in which they had to learn at the last minute and the night before being asked to come earlier than planned to suit changes in the agenda. But they took it all in their stride. The resounding comments from all was , I wished they could have played for longer. I thoroughly and highly recommend this group. They are faultless.

Thankyou so much for playing at my 40th birthday party! The music was fab & really helped create a great atmosphere. You were flexible on playing times & happy to go with the flow on the night, Thankyou so much! 👍🏼
The band brought the Carribbean to our wedding. Callum and the band took the time and effort to learn the songs that we selected for the ceremony which made it incredibly special. Thank you

We enjoyed listening to Francis and the Steel Drum Bands on 24th July 2021 for our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed the celebratory atmosphere Steel Drum Bands created and the wide range of songs they played. Steel Dum Bands are a talented group of musicians who we’d listen to again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

We booked Steel Drum Bands for our wedding reception in August. I was slightly disappointed that they don’t have any current calypso or soca in their repertoire but it really didn’t matter on the day. These guys brought a brilliant vibe to our wedding. We had great feedback from our guests saying they enjoyed the music as they mingled. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something different to add some Caribbean flair to your event.
Booked for a corporate event. They made the night loads of great comments from people would highly recommend - thanks guys
We hired the band to play at our wedding and they were amazing! Great music and all our guests loved them! Thanks for making our day extra special 😊 Alice and Joel
Absolutely fantastic...instantly lifted the mood at the party...happy, chilled out vibes 😎 Thank you 🥁🌻
These legends played at my little sister's wedding on Friday 3rd May 2019 and they were fabulous! Despite the rain and cold they brought a little bit of the Caribbean with them and had smiles on their faces the whole time...especially when we managed to get them inside!! Thanks for a brilliant set and thanks for re-playing The Little Mermaid for me!! 100% would recommend and if I weren't having a rustic theme for my wedding in October I'd be booking you for mine!
I would 100% recommend these guys !! They played at my wedding and everybody loved them ! The customer service from start to finish was excellent. They did arrive slightly early but we're amazing when I asked if they could change the times that they played (length of time of each set , one being shorter while having the meal). The feedback I had off everyone was amazing and all the guests took videos and uploaded them!. At the end of their last set they continued to play as I could just not stop dancing! Once they had finished and put everything away they came and said bye to me outside which I thought was a lovely touch. Lovely people with incredible talent. Thank you so much again for making our big day so special x
