Fareed, Michael & Charlotte gave our community a totally tropical evening of live music. They were prompt, positively cheerful, talented and attentive to the audience's enjoyment. Unreservedly, recommended - thank you for a Caribbean night to remember!

"I booked Impact Steelband as a surprise for my husband's birthday party.
We had a bbq in our garden with the band playing in the background.
All our friends and family said they had a great time and were blown away by the music played by the band!
Having the lovely sounds of the carribean playing in my garden was magical.
My hubby had a great day!
What more can I say but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Impact Steel band.....
I'll be calling on you guys again, really soon!"

"Booked Impact to play at our Rum and Reggae evening.
Impact played as a duet and they were amazing!
Performing reggae and calypso tunes to the delight of the watching crowd.
Will be organising another Rum and Reggae evening in the coming months and I will definitely be calling on the services of the incredible Impact Steelband to perform at my event.
Thankyou to Fareed and Co for making it such a special night!"

"""I just wanted to say that we thought having the brilliant Impact Steel Band playing at the event today absolutely made the atmosphere and lots of people made similar comments. Thanks so much to you and your band members for the great musical accompaniment to the afternoon - and for playing for so long!""

Angela, friends & family."
